Dr. Devin MacKenzie is the Washington Research Foundation Professor of Clean Energy and an Assoc. Prof. of Materials Science and Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at UW. He is also the Technical Director of the Washington Clean Energy Testbeds, a lab that provides open-access to some of the world’s most advanced tools for printed optoelectronics and energy device research and scale-up. The driving principle behind his materials career has been leveraging emerging molecular and nanomaterials to enable more sustainable, lower carbon footprint additive manufacturing pathways for emerging semiconductor, optical, bioelectronic, quantum and energy devices. Devin also has 25 years of entrepreneurial experience in sustainable manufacturing of electronics. He was formerly the CEO and co-founder of Imprint Energy (acquired CCL/Avery), a Bay Area spin-out developing printed flexible batteries. Previously, as the CTO of Add-Vision, Inc. (acquired Sumitomo Chemical), Dr. MacKenzie led R&D for roll-to-roll printed flexible OLEDs at Add-Vision with licensing in Europe and Asia. Prior to Add-Vision, he led printed silicon RF device and product engineering at Kovio, Inc. a Si Valley MIT spin-out. Dr. MacKenzie also co-founded, Plastic Logic, from Cambridge University while a postdoc in Physics researching solution-processed organic electronics. Prior to that he worked at Bell Labs and NASA. Dr. MacKenzie has authored over 240 publications and patents and has been cited over 12,400 times. He holds Ph.D, MS, and undergraduate degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Florida and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
