Dr. Chyan recieved his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1990.
He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cincinnati from 1990-1992. Dr. Chyan
joined the UNT faculty in 1992.

Professor Chyan's research group actively explores underlying fundamental science
of selected critical interfaces relevant to advanced microelectronic fabrication and
functional nanostructure design/development. Various highly sensitive metrology were
developed to characterize metals, semiconductors, oxides, organics and their composites.
The improved understanding of fundamental interfacial properties leads to useful functional
designs, such as chemical sensors, IC metal interconnects, Cu diffusion barriers,
corrosion inhibitors, fuel cells and renewable energy.
