 Michael Norton studied Chemistry at Louisiana State
University, Shreveport campus, where he obtained a BS
degree in 1977. He obtained a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Arizona State
Univeristy in 1982 under the direction of William Glaunsinger studying two
dimensional mixed metal oxides. He then performed postgraduate research
as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow in the Electronic
Materials Branch of the Naval Weapons Center
at China Lake, California. As an Assistant
Professor at the University of Georgia, he developed electrochemical methods for
oxide superconductor synthesis, before coming to Marshall in 1991. His research
interests range from the synthesis, reactivity, and physical characterization
of superconducting materials to the design, assembly and characterization of
DNA based nanostructures with sensing capabilities. Another domain of
interest is Imaging Science. Dr. Norton is director of the Molecular
and Biological Imaging
Center at Marshall, which houses instrumentation for
Scanning Electron Microscopy, Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, Atomic Force
Microscopy, Laser Capture Microscopy, Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy and
Near Field Scanning Optical Microscopy. Details about these projects
and techniques may be found on my research page and in publications by my
group.
