Vesselin N. Shanov, Ph.D. - Dr. Shanov is an Associate Professor of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. He has international experience and engineering knowledge in the development of facilities and technologies for processing nano-structured materials and thin films. He has also won several prestigious awards, including the Fulbright Award for Research and Teaching in the United States, German Academic Foundation (DAAD), and the Bulgarian Patent Office Award for Distinguished Patent. His current research is focused on synthesis, processing, characterization, and application of nanostructured materials with emphasis on carbon nanotubes. He has published more than 145 papers, 14 patents, 3 books, and has been a part of more than thirty-eight funded proposals including many with the National Science Foundation, United States Navy and several industries. | Mark J. Schulz, Ph.D., P.E. - Dr. Schulz is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. He develops highly collaborative interdisciplinary research programs encompassing: (a) Nanoscale smart materials, sensors, and actuators for structural and biomedical applications, (b) Artificially intelligent structures using biomimetics, and (c) Applied/basic research developing Structural & Human Health Monitoring systems. Dr. Schulz led a Phase I SBIR project with the Air Force to spin carbon nanotubes into thread for electrical power conduction applications. He has co-authored over one hundred fifty total conference, journal, and book chapters, and has also edited two books. |
