Biography
Patrick J. McCann received his B.S. in engineering physics from UC Berkeley in 1981 and his Ph.D. in electronic materials from MIT in 1990.
From 1981 through 1984 he worked for IBM in Burlington,
Vermont, where he was on the team that developed
the world’s first one megabit DRAM. He has
been a faculty member in the School of Electrical
and Computer Engineering at the University of Oklahoma
since 1990. His research group has published over
100 articles in the fields of IV-VI semiconductor
epitaxial crystal growth, laser fabrication, and
chemical sensing using mid-infrared laser absorption
spectroscopy. Recent accomplishments include demonstration
of mid-infrared light emission at room temperature
from nanostructured epitaxial layers, demonstration
of improved active region heat dissipation from epitaxial
layers removed from growth substrates and development
of laser spectrometers for exhaled breath analysis.
