Nanoscience and Nanoengineering

“This book is a wonderful balance between nanoscience and nanoengineering. It is very useful, especially for researchers and graduate students, to understand cross-cutting potential in developing nanotechnology applications. … This is a timely…book on this subject. It is written by a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers. … There are very few academic programs exclusively dedicated to nanoscience and nanoengineering. Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering is one such dedicated program. Most of the authors have an affiliation with this school. This brings reliability and authenticity to the book.”
—Dr. Jitendra S. Tate, Ingram School of Engineering, Texas State University, San Marcos, USA

”… presents the state-of-art technological and scientific advances in the field of nanotechnology covering a range of topics—nanoelectronics, nanobio, nanomedicine, modeling at nanolevel, engineering nanomaterials, and nanotoxicology—that are representative areas in which significant advances in nanotechnology have been made in recent years. It will be useful for students and researchers to learn about a variety of fields of research in nanotechnology.”
—Mahesh Hosur, Tuskegee University, Alabama, USA

”… a comprehensive encyclopedic monograph of the achievements of the research in nanotechnology oriented towards the application in medicine and biomedical engineering. … The monograph was written by a collective of competent specialists and would be very useful for readers with wide-ranging scientific interests as well as for the organizers of clinics and enterprises producing medical equipment and drugs.”
—Nguyen Van Hieu, Editor-in-Chief, Advances in Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Vietnam

“Using authors that span materials and biological science, this book succeeds in covering the full spectrum of nanomaterial topics in 15 chapters. To achieve this, a major emphasis is placed on bio-nanoscience, nanomanufacturing, and the associated nano-safety concerns. … Experienced researchers in the nanoscience and nanoengineering field will find this book a useful survey of some of the sub-fields.”
—James R. McBride, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA, from the Journal of Cluster Science (2015) 26:1023–1025

Dr. Ajit D. Kelkar is professor and chair of the Nanoengineering Department at the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering. He also serves as associate director for the Center for Advanced Materials and Smart Structures at North Carolina A&T State University and is a member of NIA, ASME, SAMPE, AIAA, ASM, and ASEE. Currently he is involved in the development of nanoengineered multifunctional materials using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), electrospun nanofiber materials, and alumina nanoparticles. He also is working on atomistic modeling of polymers embedded with CNTs, BNNTs, and alumina nanoparticles; is involved in high-velocity impact modeling of ceramic matrix composites and polymeric matrix composites embedded with electrospun nanofibers; has published over 200 papers in these areas; and has edited a book on nanoengineered materials.

Dr. Daniel Herr is professor and chair of the Nanoscience Department at the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering. Previously he served as director of nanomanufacturing sciences for Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC). His research is focused on designed nanoengineered materials, advanced patterning and directed self-assembly, nanomanufacturing, formulation, process qualification and optimization, sustainable technologies, and advanced device design. Recently he was elected SPIE fellow and the AAAS Industrial Science and Technology section’s member-at-large. He is the inventor of several foundational patents and disclosures on defect tolerant patterning, controlled nanotube synthesis and placement, deterministic semiconductor doping, and ultimate CMOS devices. He serves as senior editor for IEEE Transactions in Nanotechnology and coordinating editor for the Journal of Nanoparticle Research. In 2005, he received the National Medal of Technology from SRC.

Dr. James G. Ryan is the founding dean of the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering. He previously served as associate vice president of technology and professor of nanoscience for the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) at the University at Albany, where he managed the cleanrooms and numerous consortia involving IBM, TEL, AMAT, and ASML. Prior to CNSE, he worked for IBM as distinguished engineer and director of advanced materials and process technology development; manager of interconnect technology groups in research, development, and manufacturing engineering areas; and site executive at Albany Nanotech. An author of over 100 publications, he is the recipient of numerous awards and holds 52 U.S. patents. His research interests include thin film deposition, interconnect technology, semiconductor manufacturing technology, and radiation hardened nanoelectronics.
