Mark Tuominen is a Professor of Physics and the CNS Associate Dean of Innovation and Research at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He leads the NSF Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing, MassNanoTech, and directs the National Nanomanufacturing Network. His research focuses on nanoscale/quantum electronics, nanomanufacturing science, and microbial energy systems. Tuominen holds a Ph.D. in Physics (1990) and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering (1986), both from the University of Minnesota.
His research explores the physics and manufacturing of nanoscale materials and devices, including self-assembly techniques with block copolymers, microbial nanowire conductivity, and magnetic nanorings. He investigates proton transport in fuel cell materials and superconducting devices. Tuominen’s educational initiatives emphasize interdisciplinary nanotechnology education and renewable energy curricula.
Tuominen’s recent work spans microbial biofilm conductivity, domain wall dynamics in nanomagnets, and anhydrous proton-conducting polymers. His articles address challenges in nanoscale fabrication, energy systems, and quantum phenomena. Collaborations include nanomanufacturing, nanosystems integration, and informatics-driven science.
He advises strategic initiatives for manufacturing networks and contributes to national research infrastructure. His lab focuses on integrating self-assembly methods with advanced nanomaterials for real-world applications, including energy storage and biomedical devices.
