Hongjie Dai (born May 2, 1966 in Shaoyang, China)[1] is a Chinese-American Chemist and Applied Physicist, the J.G. Jackson & C.J. Wood Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University.[2] He has been recognized as a leading figure in the study of carbon nanotubes.[3][4][5][6]
Education and career
[edit]Dai received a B.S. in Physics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, in 1989, and M.S. in applied sciences from Columbia University in 1991, and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Harvard University in 1994 under the direction of Prof. Charles Lieber. After postdoctoral research at Harvard, he joined the Stanford faculty as an assistant professor in 1997.[1][2]
Overview
[edit]Biomaterials and medicine
[edit]In 2005, Dai's research group proposed a novel method for targeting cancer cells ex vivo by heating them with near-infrared (700-1100 nm wavelengths) radiation.[7] This was accomplished using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) functionalized with folate groups, which attached somewhat selectively to cancer cells because of their tendency to overproduce folate binding protein (FBP) sites on the cell membrane.[8]
Nanomaterials
[edit]Awards and honors
[edit]Among Dai's awards are the American Chemical Society's ACS Award in pure chemistry, 2002,[2][9] the Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics, 2004,[2][10] and the American Physical Society's James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials, 2006.[2][11] He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2009, and to the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2011.[2][12][13]
