Kevin Daniels

Background

Kevin M. Daniels is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering with a joint appointment at the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics. Dr. Daniels received his B.S., M.E. and PhD in electrical engineering from the University of South Carolina in 2009, 2012, and 2014, respectively. From 2014 to his start at UMD, Dr. Daniels served as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow residing at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (Washington, D.C.). There he investigated the epitaxial growth of wide bandgap materials, like silicon carbide (SiC), for power electronics and two-dimensional epitaxial graphene for high speed communications and sensors.
