Professor Chunli Bai
Editor-in-Chief, Asia-Pacific Office
Professor Chunli Bai is Executive Vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and President of the Graduate School of CAS with more than 30,000 students. He graduated from the Department of Chemistry, Peking University in 1978 and received his MS and PhD degrees from CAS Institute of Chemistry in 1981 and 1985, respectively. From 1985-1987, he was at Caltech, US, for advanced study, conducting research work in the field of physical chemistry as a post-doctorate associate and visiting scholar. After his return home in 1987, he continued his research at CAS Institute of Chemistry. From 1991 to 1992, he was a visiting professor at Tohoku University in Japan. His research areas involve the structure and properties of polymer catalysts, X-ray crystallography of organic compounds, molecular mechanics and EXAFS research on electro-conducting polymers. In the mid-1980s, he shifted his research orientation to the field of scanning tunneling microscopy, and molecular nanotechnology.
Professor Jie Liu
Editor-in-Chief, North American Office
Professor Jie Liu is the Jerry G. and Patricia Crawford Hubbard Professor of Chemistry at Duke University, NC, USA. Professor Liu received his BS degree from Shandong University in 1987 and completed his PhD at Harvard University before undertaking a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Rice University between 1996 and 1999. His research interests include controlled growth of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) for nanoelectronics, the synthesis, purification and applications of few walled carbon nanotubes (FWNTs), the optical properties of ZnO nanostructures and the study of microporous carbon (MPC) materials for energy applications.
Professor Wei Lu
Editor-in-Chief, North American Office
Professor Wei Lu is an associate professor at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. He received B.S. degree in physics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1996, and Ph.D. in physics from Rice University, Houston, TX in 2003. From 2003 to 2005, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. He joined the faculty of UM in 2005. His research interest includes high-density memory and logic devices based on two-terminal resistive switches (memristors), growth and applications of semiconductor nanowires and nanowire heterostructures, and electrical transport in low-dimensional systems. He is a member of the ITRS Emerging Research Device working group and a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award.
Professor Francesco Stellacci
Editor-in-Chief, European Office
Professor Francesco Stellacci heads the Supramolecular NanoMaterials and Interfaces Laboratory (SuNMil) at EPFL, Switzerland. Professor Stellacci has research interests in nanoscience and nanotechnology, specifically in the investigation of the structure-property relationships that exist between nanostructured molecular assemblies and their surface properties. His research focuses on the generation of new understanding on the assembly of molecules in spatially defined arrangements and their interactions with organic and bio molecules and with inorganic surfaces. The goal is to apply this knowledge toward the development and the efficient fabrication of original nano-size molecular-based materials and devices for a wealth of applications. In order to build such devices, Stellacci's group is developing new materials (organic ligand coated nanoparticles and nanotubes), and new soft-materials fabrication techniques (based on molecular recognition and self-assembly). A specific example is the discovery of novel materials whose outside shell spontaneously assembles in ways that resemble the structuring of domains on viruses' capsids. Another example is the development of a nature-inspired stamping technique able to transfer DNA patterns from a surface onto another. This method has been tailored for the efficient production of inexpensive DNA micro- and nano-arrays. A special emphasis in the group is placed on the understanding of the nanoscale limitation of present thermodynamic modeling of surface interactions.
Dr Serena Corr
Associate Editor
Serena Corr is a lecturer in physical chemistry at the University of Glasgow. Serena graduated with a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Trinity College Dublin in 2007, before going on to carry out postdoctoral work in the Materials Research Laboratory at the University of California, Santa Barbara (2007 - 2009). After an academic appointment at the University of Kent, she joined the faculty at the University of Glasgow in 2013. Her research focuses on the design, synthesis and characterisation of functional nanomaterials whose applications include insertion electrodes for energy storage, biomedical diagnostics and therapeutics and electronically responsive materials. Using a variety of synthetic approaches and a range of characterisation techniques spanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, physical property measurements and local structure probes, her group are particularly interested in understanding the intimate structure-property interplay in functional nanomaterials.
Professor Dirk Guldi
Associate Editor
Dirk Guldi is a Professor at the Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. His scientific career began at the University of Köln, from where he graduated in Chemistry (1988) and from where he received his PhD (1990). After a postdoctoral stay at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg/USA (1991/1992), he took a position at the Hahn-Meitner-Institute Berlin (1992-1994). Following a brief stay as a Feodor-Lynen Fellow at Syracuse University/USA he joined the faculty of the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory/USA (1995). After nearly a decade in the USA, he joined University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. His research is focussed on charge-separation in nanocarbon based electron donor-acceptor materials and the construction of nanostructured thin films for solar energy conversion.
