About Walter Dressick
Dr. Walter J. Dressick (U.S. citizen) is currently retired after completing a Staff Research Scientist position in the Chemistry Department at The Ohio State University in 2023 working with Professor Claudia Turro on the photophysics and photochemistry of dirhodium and polypyridyl Ru complexes. In his previous position at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, his work emphasized a wide range of areas, including nanoparticle catalyst development for selective electroless plating, (photo/)chemical reactivity of organosiloxane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), non-covalent methods for selective materials deposition onto polymer and SAM films, nanostructured polymer films exhibiting surface anisotropy (e.g., wetting, adhesion, friction), preparation of 3-D nanoscale metal structures using biological templates, and fabrication of nanostructured polyelectrolyte multilayer film composites for use as improved fuel cell electrodes and self-decontaminating coatings. During his last year at NRL, he served as a technical advisor (50% time) to the Defense Treat Reduction Agency, assisting in the evaluation of research proposals and new programs.Dr. Dressick is the co-inventor of technologies described in 43 issued U.S. patents and co-author of 108 peer-reviewed scientific publications (January 2024). Based on the journal impact factors and citations of his articles, ISI Essential Science Indicators® ranked Dr. Dressick as one of the top 1% of materials chemists worldwide during 2001-2008.Specialties: nanoparticles, surface modification, micro/nanoelectronic materials, advanced functional materials (organic/inorganic), and sensors. Experience with electroless plating, (photo/)chemical reactivity of polymer films and self-assembled monolayers, (bio/)patterning of surfaces, deep UV/x-ray lithography, proximal probe nanolithography, microcontact printing, dielectrics/oxides, organized nanoparticle composites, colloids, self-assembly, luminescent metal complexes, kinetics, and catalysis.
Listed skills include Research Management, Photochemistry, Electroless Plating, Nanoparticles, and 26 others.

Retiree And Freelance Consultant
Retiree / Freelance Consultant
I have retired from government service in my positions at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), effective September 30, 2017 and concluded my Staff Research Scientist position at The Ohio State University on July 31, 2023. I am currently fully retired.
Staff Research Scientist
I worked with Professor Claudia Turro in The Ohio State Chemistry Department to investigate and understand the photophysics and photochemistry of a series of dirhodium and polypyridyl ruthenium transition metal complexes for both solar energy conversion and various biological applications. In addition, together with Professor James V. Coe and Professor Turro, we developed a mixed infrared spectroscopy/etalon method to accurately determine the complex index of refraction of solutions of organometallic complexes as a function of wavelength.
