个人简介
Prof. Brenner obtained his B.S. in ChE from the
University of Delaware. While at Delaware, he
completed two Monte Carlo simulation projects.
The first involved the depolymerization of lignin
(wood), the first step in papermaking. The
second project involved the generation of
hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film
semiconductors, followed by an analysis of how
synthesis conditions affected film
properties and device performance.
He then went on to do his M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees in chemical engineering from The
University of Michigan under Prof. Levi Thompson,
with his work focusing on development of catalysts
for hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation
of crude oil. Since the start of Dr. Brenner's
graduate work, the key themes of his work are
1) development and characterization of novel porous materials;
2) applications involving interstitial compounds; and
3) characterization and applications development involving
interactions of molecules with surfaces.
During this time, Prof. Brenner became an expert in a
number of areas of materials characterization
including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of
molecules adsorbed (sticking) to surfaces and
研究领域
Since 2008, all but one of Dr. Brenner's research projects have evolved out of his nanotechnology education research and has shifted much more toward biomedical applications of nanotechnology.
a) self-assembly of a range of nanomaterials including zeolites, protein fibers characteristic of Alzheimer's disease, and ammonium hydrogen phosphate;
b) uric acid crystallization and its effects on osteoporosis and gout;
c) improved syntheses of nanomaterials with emphases on narrow particle and pore size distributions;
d) electrical and colorimetric biosensing with modified gold nanoparticles;
e) genetic modification using a gene gun and modified gold nanoparticles; and
f) development of a hybrid of 3-D printing (rapid prototyping) and electrospinning for inexpensive, yet precise "printing" of tissue scaffolding.
The one non-nano project Dr. Brenner is working on involves environmental testing chambers for collection of mechanical property data for materials under extreme (cryogenic or very high temperature, controlled atmosphere, cyclic fatigue, corrosion (including with salt water), AND/OR creep) conditions. He is looking to determine the root cause of failures under situations where multiple possible failure mechanisms are possible.
