Overview
Kip D. Coonley received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Duke University, Durham, NC in 2023, the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, in 1999 and the B.S. degree in Physics from Bates College, Lewiston, ME, in 1997. Following graduation from Dartmouth, he developed electronically controlled dimmers for fluorescent and incandescent lamps at Lutron Electronics, Coopersburg, PA. From 2001 to 2005, he was a Research Engineer at RTI International, where he designed high-efficiency thermoelectrics using epitaxially grown superlattice thin-film structures. Since 2005, he has been the Undergraduate Laboratory Manager in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, Durham, NC earning the doctoral degree in 2023. His research interests include undergraduate engineering education, energy harvesting, RFID, power electronics, plasma physics, and thin films.
