Hinds Group Spring '07 |
Welcome to the Hinds' Group web site This is a young research group in the Chemical & Materials Engineering Department that is focused on making nano-structures useful by precise placement of active chemical functionality. This is a cross-disciplinary research effort that borrows heavily from chemistry, physics, electrical engineering and materials science. Success in our nano-scale fabrication techniques will have many creative applications in information storage and processing, bio-sensing, chemical separations and drug delivery. |
Current news:
Watch my recent seminar webcast (1hr) presented at UIUC's water purification center about Carbon Nanotube (CNT) Membranes
Domestic Graduate Fellowships (with competitive stipends) are available in my group through a new NSF-IGERT program in bioactive materials research.
Congratulations to me, tenure was official July 1 '07 and Thank you to William Bryan and his family for their generous donation to UK that allowed for a Professorship in his honor to help our research efforts to advance Materials Engineering at UK. Every little bit helps.
Congratulations Mainak, Nitin and Rodney for a publication of remarkably enhanced flow through CNT cores that appeared in Nature. We've been lucky to attract a little popular press about the CNT membranes. PDF file of publicity RCS hot article link Science Magazine abstract link

A Joint Appointment with the Department of Chemistry was approved July 1 2003. UK Chemistry students can officially join my group! Please contact me if our research at the nano-scale interests you!
