Speaker
Mark Haase completed his PhD studies in chemical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, on the synthesis and characterization of spinnable carbon nanotube arrays. Prior to that, he earned a Master of Science and Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology. During his academic career, Haase extensively used AFMs and other characterization tools, which benefited him starting his new career as Commercial Application Scientist at Anton Paar USA in 2018. He has been supporting researchers and engineers in academic and corporate environments solving materials testing challenges ever since.
