Alain E. Kaloyeros (born 1956, Beirut)[2] is an American physicist and the Founding President and Chief Executive Officer of the SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Utica, New York.[6][7]

Early life and education

Kaloyeros was born in Beirut to a Lebanese mother and Greek father.[1] His family is Greek Orthodox Christian.[8][1] He attended Lebanese University and left Lebanon in 1980 for graduate school in Florida at the University of Miami, and he transferred to The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.[2][8] Kaloyeros graduated from The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign with a doctorate in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics in 1987.[3][4][5][9][10]

Career

Kaloyeros was a professor in The University at Albany's physics department from 1988 until 2009 when the nanotechnology research center was spun-off from the department into a separate SUNY college.[1][5][11][8] He is Professor of Nanoscience at the SUNY Poly Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) at University at Albany, SUNY.[3][12]

In January 2015, he was appointed Founding President of SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly).[1][13] He also is a Professor of Nanoscience at SUNY Poly.[1] In 2014, Kaloyeros earned $495,000 as President.[5][14]

He is Executive Director of the Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics, the Interconnect Focus Center – New York, the Energy/Environment Technologies Applications Center, and the New York State Center for Advanced Thin Film Technology.[15][16]

He is currently suspended without pay from all positions within SUNY following federal and state indictment on felony bid-rigging charges.

Since 2006, he has been listed in Marquis Who's Who in Science and Engineering.[3]

In September 2016, Kaloyeros was charged with felony bid rigging.[17][4] He was then suspended from his job as SUNY Polytechnic Institute's President.[18][19][20] His lawyer said Kaloyeros is innocent.[21]
