Bob R. Keller (Fed)
Program Manager, CHIPS Metrology
Prior to joining CHIPS Metrology, Dr. Keller served as a Group Leader and Project Leader in the Applied Chemicals & Materials Division in NIST's Material Measurement Laboratory, after receiving a National Research Council Post-Doctoral Fellowship in 1993. He has spent time working abroad, first as a visiting scientist at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg in Germany from 1991-1992, and later during a NIST sabbatical at the Max-Planck-Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart, Germany from 2000-2001. He holds a B.S. and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering, both from the University of Minnesota. Bob's research interests lie in deformation of materials, failure analysis, reliability testing & physics, and electron microscopy.
