David McGee

Dr. David McGee is Professor of Physics at The College of New Jersey's School of Science, specializing in photonics and optical materials. He teaches modern physics and advanced experimental courses while leading research on optical microstructure fabrication. His work has received funding from NSF, DOE, and Fulbright programs totaling over $800,000 across multiple grants.

Research focuses on photomechanical azopolymers, digital polarization optics, and surface microstructure fabrication techniques including laser writing and nanoimprint lithology. Collaborative projects involve institutions in Germany (Berlin Institute of Technology, University of Potsdam) and Italy (University of Naples).

Awards include the Fulbright Specialist Award (2022) and Support of Scholarly Activities Award (2023). His publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to photonics and materials science, with recent advances in dynamic azopolymer applications.

Professor McGee coordinates international research exchanges and represents TCNJ in the Advancing Photonics Technologies consortium at Princeton University. He maintains active research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students.
