Bio:
David S. Ginger earned dual B.S. degrees in chemistry and physics at Indiana University in 1997 with departmental honors and highest distinction, performing undergraduate research with Victor E. Viola. He received a British Marshall Scholarship and an NSF Graduate Fellowship and completed his Ph.D. in physics with Neil C. Greenham in the Optoelectronics group at the University of Cambridge (UK) in 2001. After a joint NIH and DuPont Postdoctoral Fellowship at Northwestern University in Chad Mirkin's lab, he joined the faculty at the University of Washington in Seattle where he is currently Professor and Lawton Distinguished Scholar in Chemistry and Adjunct Professor of Physics. He is an elected fellow of the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) and has been named a Research Corporation Cottrell Scholar, an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellow, a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar, and has received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the 2008 ACS Unilever Award in Colloid and Surfactant Science, and a Research Corporation Scialog Fellowship in solar energy conversion. He is the 2012 winner of the Burton Medal of the Microscopy Society of America. His research centers on the physical chemistry of conjugated polymers and nanostructured materials with applications in optoelectronics--especially thin film solar cells--and sensing.
