Joint Mechanical Engineering / Engineering & Applied Sciences Seminar by Dr. Jingzhou Zhao
- Location: Textiles Building 101E
- Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
- Description: Joint Mechanical Engineering (MNE) and Engineering and Applied Sciences (EAS) SEMINAR
DATE:
March 22, 2019
TIME:
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
LOCATION:
Textile Building, Room 101E
SPEAKER:
Dr. Jingzhou Zhao, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Western New England University
TOPIC:
Fluid Interface Control for Nanomanufacturing
ABSTRACT:
Owing to their unique plasmonic, magnetic and surface properties, crystalline nanoparticles and nanowires (gold, silver, and platinum, etc.) with or without surface coatings are widely utilized in energy and biomedical applications ranging from photovoltaic to cancer treatment. However, the scalable production of these structured nanomaterials at industrially relevant scales has been a long-standing challenge due to the intrinsic complexity involved in their chemical synthesis, limiting their market penetration. This seminar focuses on the recent progress made in the use of fluid interface control strategies toward the high-volume production of metal nanowires and nanoparticles, exemplifying novel reaction-free methods as new pathways toward scalable manufacturing of structured crystalline nanomaterials.
BIO:
Dr. Zhao received his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (2011) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University with emphases in Mechatronics and Automation, master’s degree (2013) at University of Wisconsin-Madison on microsensors for in-situ monitoring systems, and Ph.D. degree (2017) at University of California, Los Angeles, with a focus on scalable manufacturing of metal nanomaterials. Upon graduation, Dr. Zhao immediately joined Western New England University to establish the Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Processing Laboratory, which conducts basic and applied research targeting fundamental challenges in manufacturing. Dr. Zhao’s current research focus is on the establishment of novel manufacturing processes, theoretical models, computational methods, and control strategies for the high-volume production of structured nanomaterials and advanced sensors.
