Future of Nanotechnology

Dr. Pulickel Ajayan is the founding chair of Rice University’s Materials Science and NanoEngineering Department. He is a pioneer in the field of carbon nanotubes and is considered one of the world’s most cited materials scientists. His PhD work (1989) involved the characterization of gold nano-particles on oxide substrates and their phase instabilities. When he visited Oceanit, he spoke about the future of nanotechnology.
