Nanotechnology and Nanobiotechnology
(A Global Science, Engineering and Business Perspectives) (Handout)_
| G. Ali Mansoori, Professor Departments of BioEngineering, Chemical Engineering & Physics University of Illinois at Chicago http://tigger.uic.edu/~mansoori/ |
ABSTRACT: The speaker will present an overview of recent scientific and engineering advances of nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology and their global scientific and business prospects. Then he will report on his research on design of nanoparticles, nanoclusters, nanoconjugates and molecular building blocks and their applications in science, engineering and health sciences.
A Short Biography of The Speaker:
Dr. Mansoori’s field of research is atomic and molecular nanotechnology, molecular based study of disease diagnostic methods and therapeutic agents, nanobiostructures design (nanoclusters, nanoconjugates, nanoparticles), phase transitions, ab initio methods, density functional and molecular dynamics simulations, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics.
Dr. Mansoori has developed and has been teaching two courses at UIC on the subject of this talk for the past six years, one of which is BioE 405- Atomic & Molecular Nanotechnology and the other (co-developed and co-teaching) is BioE 505 Nanobiotechnology. He is also the author of two recent books on the subject of his talk which are < Principles of Nanotechnology-OR-Chapter 1> and < Molecular Building Blocks for Nanotechnology-OR>. Dr. Mansoori is also the author of over 340 other research papers and books. For his research achievements he has received numerous recognitions including the UNESCO medal of fundamental science, Algorithm scientific international award and the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences Kapitsa gold medal.
