William D. Herzog

Dr. William D. Herzog is the leader of the Advanced Materials and Microsystems Group. His research emphasis is in light-matter interactions.

Herzog’s initial work focused on the development of aerosol sensors for the detection of biological warfare agents. He led a team that developed the optical-based detector that transitioned to the Navy. Soon after, he developed long-wave infrared spectroscopic and remote sensing systems including a multispectral, longwave-infrared, coherent laser radar.

More recently, he has been involved in the development of optical and RF materials and devices. He leads a group that develops electronic, optical, and RF materials, including fibers and textile systems.

Herzog holds a BS degree in physics from The College of William and Mary in Virginia, an MS degree in physics from Boston University, and a PhD degree in electrical engineering from Boston University.
