Nanomaterials

Sivashankar Krishnamoorthy leads efforts in nano-enabled medicine and cosmetics domains within the Materials Research and Technology Department at Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (http://list.lu). He has spent his entire career to date in technology development environments, successfully integrating fundamental, cross-disciplinary, and translational aspects of fabrication, processing, and investigation of nanostructured materials and interfaces. He brings more than 10 years of transnational experience to advantage in driving innovation at the interface of nanotechnology, biology, and medicine. He has an active engagement in several professional activities, serving as a member of organizing committees in international conferences, member of journal editorial boards, and reviewer of grants, peer-reviewing journal articles, and scientific and administrative management of researchers at different levels.

"This book would be useful to those working in the development of nanomaterials, with a specific interest in one or more of the applications described, or for learning about nanomaterial properties in the subject areas presented."— IEEE Electrical Insulation, January/February 2017
