Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Andre Geim, Langworthy and Royal Society Anniversary Research Professor, The University of Manchester
Talk Title: Random Walk to Graphene
Abstract: Graphene â a single plane of carbon atoms â is probably the simplest material one can imagine. On the other hand, graphene has acquired so many superlatives to its name that people started calling it a wonder material. In this lecture, I will explain how I walked into this research area and why graphene deserves being called wonder.
Biography: Dr. Geim is with the University of Manchester. He is the Langworthy and Royal Society 2010 Anniversary Research Professor and the Director of Manchester Centre for Mesoscience Nanotechnology. He is from the Netherlands and UK (born in Russia).
He published over 200 peer-refereed research papers, including 15 Nature and Science articles and many more in Physical Review Letters and Nature series magazines. More than 40 of the papers are cited > 100 times, with 9 of them being cited >1000 times each. According to ISIâs Essential Science IndicatorsSM, responsible for initiating two new research fronts (on graphene and on van-der-Waals adhesives). He is credited with more than 50 named and plenary lectures.
Dr. Geim won the 2000 IgNobel Prize for âlevitating frogsâ (shared with Michael Berry). He was named among âScientific American 50â in 2006; According to Thomson-Reuters, among âhottest researchersâ for 2009, 2010 and 2011. His research on superconductivity was chosen twice by AIP among 50 annual highlights (1998 & 1999). He has Honorary PhDs from Delft University, ETH Zurich & Universities of Antwerp & Manchester. He is the Hon Professor of Moscow Phys-Tech; Hon Professor of the University of Nijmegen; Hon Fellow of the Institute of Physics; Hon Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry; Corresponding Member of the Dutch Academy of Sciences; Hon Fellow of Singapore Institute of Physics; Hon Professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
