Dr. Mike Sevegney
PhD Graduate
CV (doc)
Mike completed his work with Prof. Kannan's Rheo-Optics team in May 2004, graduating with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering. Mike also received a Bachelor of Science degree magna cum laude in Chemical Engineering from Wayne State in May 1999.
Mike has helped both to develop and to optimize the rheo-FTIR spectrometer, a novel instrument for the analysis of morphology and viscoelastic orientation behavior in complex polymer systems. A manuscript describing this unique materials characterization system is in International Journal of Polymer Analysis and Characterization. Specifically, Mike investigated the effects of tacticity on deformation-induced morphology changes within stereoregular polypropylenes. Proceedings from these research efforts may be found in Journal of Polymer Science: Part B: Polymer Physics, and Macromolecules. Mike also used other analytical tools (including Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry) to complement rheo-FTIR research and gain a broader understanding of the effects of stereochemistry, temperature, and material processing conditions on polypropylene vibrational spectra.
Mike is currently employed as a Senior Technology Development/Process Engineer in the California Technology & Manufacturing division of Intel Corporation. He is currently involved in the development of robust, high-volume-manufacturing-capable photolithography processing solutions for multiple 90- and 65-nanometer multi-level cell NOR flash products.
