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 |

Related ContentDoE's Savannah River Lab Explores 'Microballoon'Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River National Lab (Westerville, Ohio) have developed porous glass ‘microballoons’ that can be affixed with nanoscale pores to provide a number of intriguing possibilities for carrying volatile materials across long distances safely.
Introduction to Nanoscience -- A Landmark TextbookTomorrow's nanoscientist will have a truly interdisciplinary and nano-centric education, rather than, for example, a degree in chemistry with a specialization in nanoscience. For this to happen, the field needs a truly focused and dedicated textbook. This slidecast describes such a landmark textbook. Introduction to Nanoscience introduces the nanoscale along with the societal impacts of nanoscience, then presents an overview of characterization and fabrication methods. The authors systematically discuss the chemistry, physics, and biology aspects of nanoscience, providing a complete picture of the challenges, opportunities, and inspirations posed by each facet before giving a brief glimpse at nanoscience in action: nanotechnology.
Clean Technology 2008: Bio Energy, Renewables, Green Building, Smart Grid, Storage, and WaterThese proceedings from the 2008 CTSI conference provide the most prestigious forum in the world for leading clean tech scientists. The papers from the conference have been compiled into one easy-to-use resource to create the most authoritative and comprehensive compendium available across all of clean technology. This book covers bioenergy fuels, photovoltaics, wind energy, geothermal energy, green buildings, smart grid, fuel cells, hydrogen technology, green chemistry, sustainable industry practices, storage technologies, and energy policies.
