Mike Toney
Mike Toney is a Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering and a Fellow of the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI) at CU Boulder. He is the Faculty Director for Shared Facilities, in the College and Engineering and Applied Science at CU. He received his B.S. from Caltech and his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Washington. After a NATO Postdoctoral Fellowship, he joined the IBM Research Division to focus on the use of X-ray scattering methods for structure determination for polymer thin films, and interfaces. After working at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), he joined CU Boulder in 2020. Toney is a pioneer in the use of X-ray diffraction and small angle scattering for the determination of molecular and mesoscale structure of organic and polymeric thin films, for the determination of atomic structure of electrode-electrolyte interfaces and for operando observations of energy storage materials. He is a Fellow of APS and a Thomson Reuters highly cited researcher in Materials Sciences
