Biography

Brian R. Stoner, PhD, Senior Fellow in materials and electronic technologies, appointed May 2009, directs research activities related to biomedical materials and devices, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based sensors, and photonics. Before joining RTI, Dr. Stoner was a senior scientist for Kobe Steel USA's Electronic Materials Center, researching plasma processing of thin-film microelectronic materials. At RTI, he currently manages research programs for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Army Research Office, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. Stoner also is an adjunct professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University and a member of the Curriculum in Applied Sciences and Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he conducts research on biomaterials, nanostructured materials, and related devices. His RTI Fellow's research will center on cultivating strategic university and corporate partnerships in the area of biomedical materials and devices. He holds 22 U.S. patents related to novel microelectronic materials and systems, and has authored or co-authored two book chapters and more than 100 publications.
