Hinds Group Fall '08 |
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:
Congratulations to Nitin Chopra, my first PhD student, as he starting as an Assistant Professor at Univ. Alabama Tuskaloosa, MSE Department Jan. '09. Best of luck. (alumni page)
Watch my recent seminar webcast (1hr) presented at UIUC's water purification center about Carbon Nanotube (CNT) Membranes.
Domestic Graduate Fellowships (with competitive stipends ~$30k/yr) 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.
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
