David Drabold

David Alan Drabold (born 13 February 1960) is an American physicist, currently Edwin and Ruth Kennedy Distinguished Professor[1] at Ohio University.

Early life

Born in Akron, Ohio, he received a B.S. in applied mathematics from the University of Akron in 1982, and a PhD. in physics from Washington University in St. Louis.

Research

Drabold's work focuses on the theory of amorphous materials.[2] He is known for his formulation of algorithms to elucidate consequences of structural disorder to electronic, optical and transport properties.[3] His research has been published in high impact journals such as Nature and Science.[4] He is a fellow of the American Physical Society,[5] the Institute of Physics and the Royal Numismatic Society.[6]

Selected publications

Origins of structural and electronic transitions in disordered silicon[7]

Theory of diamondlike amorphous carbon[8]

Energetics of Large Fullerenes: Balls, Tubes, and Capsules[9]
