Paul Franklin Nealey is an American molecular engineer.

Nealey studied chemical engineering at Rice University, then earned a doctorate in the subject from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He undertook postdoctoral research at Harvard University before working for Solvay et Compagnie in Brussels. [1] During his teaching career at University of Wisconsin–Madison, Nealey received the National Science Foundation Career Award in 1997, [2] a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award in 2001, and was subsequently named Shoemaker Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering. [3] [1] He was granted fellowship in the American Physical Society in 2008 "[f]or fundamental and insightful research on the dimension dependent properties of polymer nanostructures, the directed self-assembly of block copolymers, and their application in the development of advanced lithographic materials and processes." [4] Nealey later joined the University of Chicago as the Brady W. Dougan Professor in Molecular Engineering, [1] and also accepted a joint appointment to the Argonne National Laboratory's Material Science Division. [5] In 2018, Nealey was named a member of the National Academy of Engineering "[f]or the development of directed self-assembly of block copolymers as an industrially significant process for nanolithography."
