BIOGRAPHICAL SKATCH

 

Donglu Shi received his Ph. D. in Engineering in 1986 from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. After graduation, he took a Staff Scientist position at the Materials Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory in 1987. At Argonne, he was a principal investigator of a major Department of Energy program on High-Tc superconductors. In 1995, Donglu Shi joined the faculty as an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at University of Cincinnati. He was promoted to the full professor position, with tenure, in 2001 at University of Cincinnati.
    Donglu Shi has so far published 200 refereed journal publications including Physical Review Letters, Nature, and Advanced Materials, with an h-index of 27. He has edited nine books in superconductivity, functional thin films, nanomaterials, biomaterials, tissue engineering, and nano biomedicine (World Scientific, Pergamon Press, Springer-Verlag, and Tsinghua University Press). He has also edited six special issues of Materials Science & Engineering: C, J. of Nanomaterials, Applied Superconductivity and MRS Bulletin. He holds seven US patents in electronic materials.
    He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Nano LIFE, and Associate Editor of Materials Science & Engineering: C, and J. of Nanomaterials. He has won the SIGMA XI Research Recognition Award, Honor Roll Professor Award, and Neil Wandmecher Teaching Award. Donglu Shi¨s main interests include nanostructured materials, nano biomedicine, and superconductors. The most recent works on nano-biomedicine pioneer a novel approach in the assembly of intelligent nano systems for early cancer diagnosis and localized treatment. By a unique design, an intelligent nano system has been established with multi functionalities for cancer treatment. These works have recently appeared in a major journal: Advanced Materials (2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009).
