Raymond Unocic

Bio

Dr. Raymond Unocic is an Associate Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department and Associate Director of the Analytical Instrumentation Facility at North Carolina State University. He received his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University.

Dr. Unocic’s research expertise is in aberration-corrected, analytical, cryo, and in situ/operando scanning transmission electron microscopy. His research program is dedicated to pioneering novel microscopy-based characterization methods for nanoscience research with the goal of probing atomic-scaled structure, chemistry, and dynamic behavior of materials to establish structure-property-function correlation.
