RobertClark.jpgDuke University in Durham, N.C., announced yesterday that Robert L. Clark, chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Thomas Lord Professor of Mechanical Engineering, will become dean of the Pratt School of Engineering, effective Aug. 15. Clark, who previously served as the Pratt School's senior associate dean, will serve in the position until a national search finds a permanent replacement for Kristina M. Johnson, who is leaving to become provost and senior vice president of academic affairs at The Johns Hopkins University, Duke Provost Peter Lange said. A specialist in acoustics and bionanomanufacturing, Clark joined Duke’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science in 1992 as an assistant professor. He is a founding director of Duke’s Center for Biologically Inspired Materials and Material Systems (CBIMMS), an interdisciplinary program focused on bionanomanufacturing, nanotherapeutics, biointerface science and nanobiomechanics. As CBIMMS director, he helped establish a graduate admissions program for a certificate in biological and biologically inspired materials. Clark's research interests include enabling bionanomanufacturing by developing nanofabrication processes that are compatible with water, enable mass production without the need for a cleanroom and are biocompatible.

Glossary
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
