Biography

Jeffry Alan Kelber was born in Philadelphia, PA and attended public schools in Wheaton, IL. He obtained a B. S. in Chemistry (with honors) from the California Institute of Technology (1975) and a Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry under the direction of Galen Stucky at the University of Ilinois/Urbana-Champaign in 1979. He joined Sandia Laboratories as a Member of Technical Staff in 1979. In 1990 he joined the University of North Texas as an Associate Professor. He is currently Regents Professor of Chemistry at UNT and the Founding Director of the SRC/UNT Center for Electronic Materials Processing and Integration. He is a member of the Electrochemical Society and the American Vacuum Society. His research interests include oxide surface chemistry, novel electronic materials and thin films, and plasma interactions with surfaces.
