Gregory Parsons

Gregory Parsons is the Alcoa Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at North Carolina State University's College of Engineering. His research focuses on advanced materials synthesis and functional coatings, particularly in atomic layer deposition (ALD), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and thin film engineering. He leads projects in environmental remediation (e.g., toxin detoxification) and energy materials (photocatalysis, semiconductor fabrication). His work integrates nanotechnology with sustainable applications, emphasizing scalable solutions for air/water purification and carbon management.

Research Highlights:

• Develops ALD/MLD techniques for precise material patterning
• Engineers MOF-fabric composites for chemical warfare agent neutralization
• Explores semiconductor interfaces for solar-driven catalysis
• Advances high-performance EUV resist materials

Key Contributions:

• Over 100 peer-reviewed publications in materials science and engineering
• Pioneer in area-selective deposition for nanostructuring
• Recipient of the Alcoa Professorship (named chair)

His lab is equipped for advanced materials characterization, including atomic-scale deposition/etching systems and environmental testing platforms. Parsons collaborates with industry partners in semiconductor manufacturing and defense applications.
