Duncan Ross Sutherland (Assoc)

Dr. Duncan Ross Sutherland is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he works with the NIST Autonomous Formulation Laboratory program toward multimodal autonomous experimentation leveraging small angle scattering and spectroscopic techniques for reformulation challenges. Current material science areas range from mixed organic/inorganic colloidal solutions, stability of pharmaceutical bio-formulations, and complex surfactant-dye interactions. His B.S. and M.S. in Chemistry from the University of Oregon in 2016 focused on solid state reaction chemistry and synthesis of metastable thin film chalcogenide materials. Afterward, he worked for Thermo Fisher Scientific on automation workflows for TEM preparation with the G4/EX 300 mm wafer dual beam FIB-SEM tools. His Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University focused on the design and implementation of a fully autonomous metal oxide thin film synthesis and characterization platform.
