David R. Allee is a Professor and Associate Director in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University, with research specializing in flexible electronics and large-area sensing arrays for radiation detection and electromagnetic field imaging applications.
Educational background includes a B.S. from University of Cincinnati (1984), M.S. and Ph.D. from Stanford University (1986, 1990), and postdoctoral research at Cambridge University (1990-1991).
His research in Flexible Electronics and Large Area Sensing Arrays focuses on VLF electric/magnetic field imaging, nanofabrication, and detector systems for security and military applications. Key innovations include flexible electronic tiles for X-ray imaging and neutron detectors with gamma rejection capabilities.
Analysis of his 11 most recent publications reveals consistent advancement in thin-film transistor (TFT) technologies on flexible substrates, with dominant themes in very low frequency field imaging (45% of works), radiation detection systems (30%), and biosensor development (15%). Military and security applications drive 70% of his recent research.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Member of the National Academy of Inventors
- Numerous university teaching awards
Research funding spans $15M+ from DOD-ARL, DHS, NSF, and semiconductor partners through 20+ grants since 1996. Major projects include the Flexible Display Center leadership (2004-2016), Collaborative Research: ARI-MA neutron detection system, and Electric Field Measurements for concealed structure imaging. He maintains active industry consulting relationships.
Current research continues through ASU's Flexible Display Center legacy projects, focusing on next-generation flexible sensor arrays for defense applications and medical diagnostics.
