Biography
Yury Gogotsi is a distinguished university professor and trustee chair at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He also serves as the director of the A. J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute. He earned his MS (1984) and PhD (1986) from Kiev Polytechnic and a DSc from the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in 1995. He did his postdoctoral research in Germany supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, in Norway supported by NATO, and in Japan, supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). His research group works on nanostructured carbons and other nanomaterials. He has coauthored more than 390 journal papers and is a Fellow of AAAS, MRS, ECS, and ACerS and a member of the World Academy of Ceramics.
"The Nanotechnology Handbook provides valuable introductions to many important topics, as well as the more detailed information needed to begin advanced research. Professors Yury Gogotsi and Volker Presser should be congratulated on their choice of topics and authors, which makes this volume so useful."
—Ray H. Baughman, University of Texas at Dallas, USA"…a true tour de force on carbon based materials. Anyone searching for information on carbon nanomaterials will be extremely unfortunate if they do not find a detailed description/reference to it within these pages. Although a text that is clearly aimed at the expert, and possibly the expert researcher at that, it is accessible to graduate physicists and materials scientists and could well provide an extremely well-informed introduction to the field to the new graduate student. The Editor has done a tremendous job of choosing a well-informed group of experts, who pass on knowledge in a confident and articulate manner."
