Dr. Douglas G. Frank has approximately sixty peer-reviewed scientific publications, including feature and cover articles in the world's leading scientific journals (Science, Nature, and Naturwissenschaften).

During his graduate and postdoctoral work, he discovered and developed a new type of microscopy capable of producing three-dimensional images of molecules resting on metal surfaces. These discoveries gave him international credibility in the field of Low-Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Auger electron spectroscopy and microscopy, and his work is prominently featured in college textbooks and handbooks on these subjects.

Dr. Frank left university academics in 1996 and began consulting, developing, and manufacturing surface analytical devices for national defense (DARPA) and various industries, particularly the cleaning products industry and bowling ball manufacturers. His custom electronics, software, inventions, and products continue to be widely used as industrial standards. Much of his work is protected by non-disclosure agreements.

During the 1990s, Dr. Frank helped to establish The Schilling School for Gifted Children in Cincinnati, Ohio. Schilling is a K-12 school for exceptionally gifted youngsters, and Dr. Frank continues to teach a few of their most advanced math and science classes each year, while also serving as the Math and Science Department chair.

He earned a Ph.D. in Surface Electroanalytical Chemistry from the University of Cincinnati in 1990.
