Meyya Meyyappan Ph.D.
In 1996, Dr. Meyya Meyyapan established the Center for Nanotechnology at NASA Ames Research Center to develop novel concepts for future applications in electronics, computing, sensors and advanced miniaturization of all systems. As Director of one of the largest nanotechnology efforts in the world, he oversees a team of 50+ scientists focused on experimental research and development in nano- and biotechnologies, as well as on strong simulation efforts. To develop novel concepts in nanotechnology for NASA's future needs on electronics, computing, sensors, and advanced miniaturization of all systems; Career HighlightsM. Meyyappan, Ph.D., is Director of the NASA Ames Research Center for Nanotechnology, Moffett Field, California. After receiving his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Clarkson University in 1984, Dr.Meyyappan worked as a research scientist at Scientific Research Associates in Glastonbury, Connecticut where his focus was semiconductor heterostructure device physics, plasma processing, and device and process modeling. He moved to NASA Ames in 1996 to establish the nanotechnology group. His current research interests include growth of carbon nanotubes and inorganic nanowires, biosensor and chemical sensor development and nanodevices. Dr. Meyyappan is a member of IEEE, AVS, ECS, MRS, AIChE, and ASME and a Fellow of the IEEE. He is the IEEE Distinguished Lecturer on nanotechnology and ASME's Distinguished Lecturer on nanotechnology. For his contributions to nanotechnology, he has received the Arthur Fleming Award and NASA's Outstanding Leadership Medal. He has published over 130 peer-reviewed articles in various science and engineering journals. Dr. Meyyappan serves on numerous nanotechnology advisory committees across the world and has given over 200 Invited/Plenary talks and invited seminars. |

Advanced Dielectric Piezoelectric and Ferroelectrc Materials: Synthesis, Characterisation and ApplicationsThis comprehensive volume covers the latest developments in advanced dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric materials. Divided into eight parts, it explores high strain high performance piezo- and ferroelectric single crystals, electric field-induced effects and domain engineering, morphotropic phase boundary-related phenomena, high power piezoelectric and microwave dielectric materials, nanoscale piezo- and ferroelectrics, piezo- and ferroelectric films, novel processing and materials, and novel properties of ferroelectrics and related materials. Each chapter looks at key recent research on these materials, their properties, and potential applications. Frontiers in the Design of MaterialsThe demands on materials to perform under complex service conditions has necessitated rapid advances in the design and development of materials and associated technologies. Development of new concepts starting at the electronic structure of materials and their modeling require application of advanced computer tools and software. There has been significant progress, not only in the development of advanced materials, but also in understanding their constitution and behavior with the help of modeling. This book presents a comprehensive view of the latest developments and experimental work on both these fronts and attempts to give direction to future work. The information contained in this book deals with topics such as materials challenges in the nuclear power sector, materials science approaches in biology and medicine, Fe-and Co-based bulky glass alloys for magnetic applications, smart composites, multilayer semiconductor devices, atomic structure and interfaces, design of light alloys, superalloys, novel materials with optimized design at atomic scale, design tools for nano-and micro scale metallic materials, component design and industrial ecology, microstructural development of advanced ferritic steels, diamond/carbide nanocomposite gradient films, magnetic nanofluids, stability issues in nanostructured materials, the design of materials for enhanced tribological performance, solid oxide fuel cells, metal foams and high performance steels through nano-structures. |
