Kisailus, David - University of California, Riverside - Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering

个人简介

Prof. David Kisailus is the Winston Chung Endowed Chair of Energy Innovation and Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Program and the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of California at Riverside. Dr. Kisailus, a Kavli Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences and a UNESCO Chair in Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion, Saving and Storage, received his Ph.D. in Materials from the University of California at Santa Barbara, 2002; M.S. in Materials Science (University of Florida) and B.S. in Chemical Engineering (Drexel University). Dr. Kisailus was a post-doctoral researcher in Molecular Biology at UCSB and a Research Scientist at HRL Laboratories working on synthesis of materials for fuel cells and batteries. Thus, his research truly encompasses nanomaterials and biomaterials. Dr. Kisailus directs a $7.5M Multi-University Research Center focused on making impact and energy absorbing materials. He has over 20 years of experience investigating the synthesis and crystal growth mechanisms of nanomaterials and semiconductors and more than 15 years studying biological mineralizing organisms. He has published more than in journals such as Science, ACS Nano, Advanced Materials, PNAS and JACS. He has also been granted more than 10 patents (with more than 25 pending). His research is highlighted in high profile media including Nature, New York Times, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and BBC. His “Biomimetic and Nanostructured Materials Laboratory” investigates fundamental synthesis – structure - property relationships in biological composites, with unique mechanical, thermal and optical properties, in order to develop multifunctional light-weight, tough and impact resistant materials as well as develop / utilize solution-based processes to synthesize nanoscale materials for energy-based applications. The ultimate goal is to be able to leverage lessons from Nature to develop next generation materials for energy conversion and storage as well as for environmental applications.
