Group Members

  We're an established group (since July '01) and research is really moving along with the first 'crop' of graduates going on to academia.  Please see the Alumni page as well.  The lab phone number is (859) 218-6538.

Dr. Ji Wu:   Earned a Ph.D. (Texas Christian University) in Inorganic Chemistry studying the 'Fabrication and Optical Properties of Erbium-Doped Group IV Nanowires and Their Corresponding Oxides'  He is now leading the effort to use CNT membranes as the active element in programmed transdermal drug delivery of addictive drugs.

Dr. Navaladian Subramanian:   (Joint Rankin Group)  Earned a Ph.D. (Indian Inst. Tech. Madra) in Catalysis.  He is currently energy applications of CNTs with mesoporous photocatalyst.
