Wassana Yantasee Ph.D.
Wassana Yantasee joined PNNL after finishing her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, for which she conducted a 5-year research project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, to study the buildup of non-process elements (NPEs) in pulping processes. Dr. Yantasee currently specializes in aqueous-phase metal ion removal (i.e., equilibrium and kinetics modeling of metal ion adsorption on sorbent materials) and development of electrochemical sensors. She has been working with self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports (SAMMS) materials both as sorbents for the removal of toxic metal ions and as electrode modifiers for the detection of heavy metal ions and uranium. Since joining PNNL, Dr. Yantasee has been a co-investigator for NIH and EMSP projects, published over 20 peer-reviewed papers, and served as peer-reviewer for Analytical Chemistry, Analytica Chimica Acta, Langmuir, Industrial Engineering and Chemistry Research, Separation Science and Technology, and 2005-2006 SBIR proposals. She also has experience in preferential oxidation of CO, electrodeposition of polymer nanowires and fluorescence spectroscopy.Education• Ph.D., Chemical Engineering, Oregon State University, 2001; M.B.A., Oregon State University, 2001; M.S., Chemical Engineering, Oregon State University, 1999; B.S., Chemical Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, 1995 |
By this ResearcherRelated ContentAuthor Interview: Nano-Semiconductors: Devices and TechnologyNanoScienceWorks.org looks at the dynamic area of nano-semoconductors, and how these tiny devices are fundamentally changing the worlds of computing and communications. We speak with the author of Nano-Semiconductor: Devices and Technology, Dr. Krzysztof Iniewski, who manages R&D developments at Redlen Technologies, Inc., a start-up firm in British Columbia, Canada. His research interests are in VLSI circuits for medical and security applications.
UCLA Team Develops Graphene-Based SupercapacitorResearchers at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a supercapacitor or electrochemical capacitor (EC) composed of an expanded network of graphene — a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon. The team demonstrated excellent mechanical and electrical properties as well as exceptionally high surface area.
MIT Team Controls Size, Composition of Individual NanowiresA team of MIT researchers has found a way of precisely controlling the width and composition of nanowires as they grow, making it possible to grow complex structures designed for particular applications.
