About
Speaker: Professor Joanna Aizenberg, Havard University
Professor Aizenberg has made pioneering contributions to the field of biomimetic inorganic materials synthesis, including developing new biomimetic approaches for the synthesis of ordered mineral films with highly controlled shapes and orientations, and discovering unique optical systems formed by organisms (microlenses and optical fibres) that outshine technological analogs, and characterizing the associated organic molecules. Professor Aizenberg joined the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in 2007.
