Michel Barsoum Ph.D.
Dr. Barsoum's current research interests, among others, focus on developing and characterizing ceramic based materials for very high temperature applications. This work includes the processing and characterization (including extensive high temperature testing) of in-situ formed transition metal carbide/boride/nitride composites. Dr. Barsoum and his research group were the first to successfully synthesize, fabricate and fully characterize an important class of machinable ceramics for high temperature applications, namely the 312 and 211-phases. Since July 1996, when the first paper on Ti3SiC2 was published, Dr. Barsoum and co-workers published, or have accepted for publication over 60 refered publications on these ternary carbides and nitrides. Dr. Barsoum has authored or co-authored over 80 refereed publications, a textbook, Fundamentals of Ceramics, published by McGraw-Hill in 1997 and 8 patents. In 1999, Dr. Barsoum was made a distinguished professor at Drexel University, one of two such awards made every year across the University.EducationPh.D, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, June 1985; M.Sc, University of Missouri – Rolla, June 1980, B.Sc.

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.
