Navigating Nano

Dr. Peryshkov is an associate professor in the University of South Carolina Department of Chemistry. He received an undergraduate degree in Material Science from Moscow State University and earned a Ph.D. degree at Colorado State University. Dr. Peryshkov's current research revolves around the redox chemistry of main group elements and transition metal catalysis.

Dr. Afonin obtained an M.S. in chemistry from Saint Peterburg State University and a Ph.D. in photochemistry from Bowling Green State University. Dr. Afonin is a founding member and vice president of the International Society of RNA Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine. His research interests are centered on the development of functional RNA-based nanomaterials.

Dr. Lilian C. Hsiao, a Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University. Dr. Lilian C. Hsiao research interests are in the areas of soft materials and complex fluids, specifically on the use of shaped colloids and functionalized polymer surfaces. We specialize in using microscopy and rheology to identify the frameworks used to engineer the mechanical properties of soft surfaces

We welcome you to another exciting Navigating Nano podcast with an exceptional scientist, Dr. Renee Cottle, a professor at Clemson University.

This week we sit down with Dr. Jie Liu. Dr. Liu’s research interests focusself on the chemistry and material science of nanoscale materials. Specific topics in his current research program include Self-assembly of nanostructures; Preparation and chemical functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes; Development of carbon nanotube-based chemical and biological sensors; andsatweek, based fabrication and modification of functional nanostructures.

This week we sit down with Dr. Heather B. Miller, Dr. Miller is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry in the Chemistry Department at High Point University (High Point, NC). She graduated from Clarion University of Pennsylvania (Clarion, PA) with a B.S. in Molecular Biology/Biotechnology, and from Duke University (Durham, NC) with a Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology. She completed a teaching postdoctoral position in the Biotechnology Program at North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC). Her area of scientific expertise is RNA biology. Her research focuses on combatting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using antibiotic adjuvants.

This week we sit down with Dr. Milad Abolhasani , Associate Professor at the Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University. Dr. Abolhasani leads a diverse research group that studies self-driving labs tailored toward accelerated development and manufacturing of advanced functional materials and molecules using fluidic micro-processors. He has received numerous awards and fellowships, including an NSF CAREER Award, AIChE 35 Under 35, the Dreyfus Award for Machine Learning in the Chemical Sciences &Engineering, and the AIChE NSEF Young Investigator Award.

This week we sit down with Dr. Christopher Sutton, Assistant Professor at The University of South Carolina. Dr. Sutton's research is focused on developing and applying first-principles calculations combined with machine-learning methods to design, predict, and understand new and functional materials, as documented in more than 30 peer-reviewed publications.

This week we sit down with Dr. Lakeshia J. Taite, Assistant Professor at The University of Virginia. Dr. Tate is an expert in engineering biofunctional materials that support a broad spectrum of applications such as cellular functions, tissue growth, tissue regeneration, and disease treatment, we will explore her groundbreaking research on designing biomaterials, targeted drug delivery systems, and regenerative medicine.

This week we sit down with Dr. Behnam Pourdeyhimi, professor and Executive Director of the Nonwovens Institute at the Wilson College of Textiles. In this episode, Dr. Pourdeyhimi gives us insight into nonwovens, innovation, and product-to-market capabilities
