Dr. Dorman joined the Materials Science and Engineering within the U.S. Department of Energy Division of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences in August 2022 as the program manager for the Synthesis and Processing Science program.
Dr. Dorman was an associate professor in the Cain Department of Chemical Engineering at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge from 2015-2022. His research group at LSU focused on the synthesis of hierarchical nanomaterials and their structural, electronic, and chemical properties. Prior to that, Dr. Dorman spent three years as a postdoc in the physics department at the University of Konstanz developing inorganic electrodes for hybrid solar cells. Dr. Dorman has received several national and international awards, including the Alexander von Humboldt fellowship and the Fulbright fellowship. He has authored or co-authored over 60 publications, including works published in Nature Photonics, Advanced Functional Materials, and ACS Catalysis, focusing on the interaction of atomically precise nanostructures and adsorbed molecules and their resulting electrochemical properties.
