A Journey from Spectroscopy to Separations to Nanotechnology

Admin — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 05:45:56 +0100

Short description

My research has always focused on the solution to a broad spectrum of chemical problems through improved analytical measurements.

Long description

My research has always focused on the solution to a broad spectrum of chemical problems through improved analytical measurements. This research has been quite diverse, beginning with my early studies focusing primarily in the area of molecular spectroscopy and leading to my current studies focusing primarily in the area of separation science. In more recent years, my research has reached a defined equilibrium with distinct components in both analytical separations and analytical spectroscopy. In an effort to present a broad scope of my current and ongoing research, this talk will focus in these two distinct areas of analytical chemistry, as well as new areas of research focus. The analytical utility of all of these areas of research will be discussed, with a particular focus on new directions of research in my group involving applications of nanotechnology.

The NanoBusiness Alliance is finalizing it's programming for the 2008 NanoBusiness Conference. If you are interested in giving a plenary, panel or pitch presentation please contact Aatish Salvi (aatish@nanobusiness.org).

Long description

Nanotechnology is at the forefront of technology innovation across multiple sectors. It is the basis of several high-growth areas including "cleantech" - clean energy and water filtration, advanced materials, next-generation electronics, medical diagnostics and pharmaceuticals. The NanoBusiness 2008 conference will feature presentations by executives from businesses in each of these areas and explore a broad range of issues relating to nanotechnology and investing, commercialization, economic development, environmental, health and safety and global opportunities. The conference is expected to attract hundreds of business leaders, investors, venture capitalists, scientists, engineers and government officials. It will provide an unprecendented opportunity to hear innovation strategies of our Fortune 200 keynotes, network with these and other leaders in innovation, learn from in-depth panels and presentations by business executives and participate in educational sessions that will give you a comprehensive overview of this new and exciting technology. We look forward to your joining us!

NTIA is a unique organization founded by scientists and engineers
dedicated to provide emerging innovative Nanotechnology related
nanoproducts to consumers and industries. Our mission is to introduce
more powerful, more efficient, less expensive, and environmentally
friendly nanoproducts to consumers. We have evaluated all the critical
components of the available nanoproducts and nanomaterials, and offer
the very best now available.

Nano materials are made of smaller than one one-hundred thousandth the
diameter of a human hair or one one-thousandth the diameter of human
red blood cells. Nano materials exhibit extraordinary physical and
chemical properties, making them valuable for a wide variety of products.
For example, nano carbon tubes (CNT) has an extra ordinary mechanical
properties and is 100 times stronger than steel yet 1/6 lighter than steel.
Nano health supplements are 7 times more bio-available than the
conventional supplements due to their small size. Also the antibacterial
efficacy of nano-sized gold and silver is much greater than non-nano gold
and silver. Nanotechnology has been hailed as a potential cure for cancer
and environmental ills. The federal government has made
nanotechnology a research priority in recent years.

Nanotechnology has been heralded as the key technological development of the 21st century. Yet, there has been little discussion on the present and future social significance of this nascent technology. To that end, Illinois Institute of Technology's (IIT's) Center on Nanotechnology and Society, an affiliate of the Institute on Biotechnology and the Human Future (IBHF), at Chicago-Kent College of Law, has been created to catalyze informed interdisciplinary research, education and dialogue on the ethical, legal, policy, business, and broader societal implications of nanoscale science and technology - all with a special focus on the human condition.

To achieve these goals, the Center on Nanotechnology and Society brings the foremost scholars and researchers in law, ethics, technical areas, and the social sciences together with leaders in business and industry.
