Lecture: Bio-inspired Adhesion of Marine Mussels for Nano/Bio/Energy Technology

Lecturer: Dr. Haeshin Lee, the Graduate School of Nanoscience and Technology, Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology

Introduction to Dr. Haeshin Lee:

Haeshin Lee received his M.S. degree in biological sciences in 1997 from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, Ph.D in biomedical engineering in 2008 from Northwestern University. He held post-doctoral positions in department of chemical engineering, MIT (advisor Robert S. Langer & Daniel G. Anderson). Currently, he held an appointment as an associate professor at department of chemistry, the Graduate School of Nanoscience & Technology and Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology. He has co-authored 60+ refereed articles in archival journals (including Nature, Science, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Mater., Adv. Func. Mater. etc), and one book. His research interests are the biomimetics which is the application of systems found in nature to the study and design of engineered systems, generalized strategy for functionalization of any material surfaces inspired by mussel adhesion, adhesive anti-bacterial and anti-fungal compounds, development of synthetic gecko adhesives nanoparticle synthesis, biointerphases etc.

He is recipient of pioneering new knowledge award, KAIST (2012), teaching award, KAIST (2010,2011), POSCO, Chung-Am research award (2012), top 100 science stories discover magazine, (2008), graduate student award, materials research society meeting, Boston, (2007), Richard W. Jones best poster award, BME, northwestern university, (2007).

Lecturer: Professor SUN Taolei, State Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology for Material Synthesis and Processing, Wuhan University of Technology

Introduction to Professor SUN Taolei:

Professor SUN Taolei received his doctor’s degree from the Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2002. In 2005 he pursued his study in University of Münster, Germany, as a Germany Humboldt scholar. In 2006 he was presented the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany. He was given 100 0000 euro to build up his own research team. In 2009 he returned to China and joined Wuhan University of Technology. His main research interests include chiral and responsive functional interface materials. He has published more than 50 papers on Acc.Chem.Res., Chem.Soc. Rev., Angew. Chem. Int.
