Jesse Adams Ph.D.
Jesse Adams is a technologist, businessman, educator, and inventor. In 2003 he received the University of Nevada Lemelson Award for innovation and entrepreneurship and in 2004 he won a Scientific American 50 Award. He has published papers, given talks, has patents pending, and holds one patent. Adams is the co-founder of Nevada Nanotechnology Systems, Inc. which was spun out of research conducted at the University of Nevada to develop compact, low-cost chemical, biological and explosives detection devices. He started his engineering education at the University of Nevada, Reno, receiving a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering with a business minor. After winning a National Science Foundation graduate fellowship, Adams went to Stanford University where he received both a master of science degree and a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering, working with/for, among others, the co-inventor of the Atomic Force Microscope, Calvin Quate, and Larry Leifer, then director of the Stanford Learning Laboratory.EducationPh.D. 2001, Stanford, Mechanical Engineering; M.S. 1997, Stanford, Mechanical Engineering; B.S. 1996, University of Nevada, Mechanical Engineering |
By this ResearcherRelated ContentNanotechnology: Business Applications and CommercializationNo longer the hidden genius of scientists, nanotechnology is now appearing in products manufactured for everyday life—products that can heal, save lives, be more durable, and last longer. It is also attracting the attention of investors interested in participating in this nano revolution.
Particle Technology and ApplicationsParticle Technology and Applications presents the theoretical and technological background of particle science and explores up-to-date applications of particle technologies in the chemical, petrochemical, energy, mechanical, and materials industries. It looks at the importance of particle science and technology in the development of efficient chemical processes and novel functional materials.
Shapes Could Matter Big Time in DNA Nanoparticle TherapyResearchers from Johns Hopkins and Northwestern universities have discovered that the shape of nanoparticles that move DNA through the body could make a big difference in how well such therapies work to treat cancer and other diseases. The scientists also have figured how to control these shapes.
