Dr. Gogotsi's research in Drexel University's Nanomaterials Group (NMG) is focused on the fundamental and applied aspects of synthesis and characterization of carbon nanomaterials (nanotubes, nanodiamond and nanoporous carbons), ceramic nanoparticles (whiskers, nanowires, etc) and composites.

Dr. Gogotsi is Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Associate Dean of Drexel's College of Engineering for Special Projects.

NMG develops and studies new nanomaterials and works closely with industry with the goal to significantly decrease the time from discovery to commercial application of new materials.

NMG's Research Interests include:
  • Chemistry of Nanostructured Carbons (nanotubes, nanodiamond, and nanoporous carbons
  • Nanomaterials for Energy-related and Biomedical Applications
  • Ceramics and Ceramic Matrix Composite
  • Hydrothermal Methods of Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes and Diamond
  • Low-dimensional Crystals
  • High-Pressure Surface Science and Engineering, and
  • Use of Raman Spectroscopy in Materials Research
