Dr. Benjamin C. Crooker
Associate Professor (PhD, Cornell), Associate VP for Academic Affairs
Dr. Crooker's research is in the area of magnetic semiconductors. He uses an RF magnetron sputtering system to grow thin film samples. Dr. Crooker is a former Professor at Purdue University and the winner of several NSF grants. He also manages the Department's seismic observatory. Dr. Crooker is the author of over 30 papers including four with undergraduates.

Dr. Antonios Balassis
Visiting Assistant Professor (PhD, City University of New York)
Dr. Balassis' research is in condensed matter theory. He specializes in electronic excitations, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and image potential at solids, surfaces and nanostuctures. Dr. Balassis also studies THz radiation due to plasmon instabilities in low dimensional systems and current charge quantization in modulated 2D-graphene. He has published 13 papers and given 5 conference presentations.

Dr. Vassilios Fessatidis
Associate Professor (PhD, Stevens Institute of Technology)
Dr. Fessatidis' primary area of research is transport properties of novel semiconductor systems in confined geometries (zero, one, and two dimensions). He also does research on the physics of nanostructures in solid-state devices and quantum field theory methods in condensed matter physics. Dr. Fessatidis has presented at the March APS Conference consecutively for the past 17 years and has authored nearly 50 papers.

Dr. Quamrul Haider
Professor and Chair (PhD, Indiana)
Dr. Haider interests encompasses intermediate energy nuclear physics, with emphasis on formation of η-mesic nucleus, pion double-charge-exchange reactions and role of ρ-meson in nuclear physics. He predicted the existance of η-mesic neucleus which has been experimentally detected in 2008 by an international collaboration of experimental nuclear physicists in Juelich, Germany. Another area of his research is nuclear reactions, particularly fusion between two light nuclei at energies of astrophysical interest. He also studies the structure of elementary particles from the point of view of quark-gluon confinement inside a "Bag". He is a former Research Fellow at the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories and has authored over 40 papers including 2 with former Fordham students as co-authors.

Dr. Gregory Recine
Visiting Assistant Professor (PhD, Stevens Institute of Technology)
Dr. Recine has extensive experience in the theory and simulation of opto-electronic phenomena of nanoscale electron transport as well as expertise with all aspects of high performance computing. He has also consulted on several DOD funded projects, including "Advanced Architectures for Biological Agent Detection & Discrimination." His current focus, however, is on a multi-university collaboration that explores the electronic/photonic sensing properties of hybrid DNA nanoscaffolds.
