Professor David N. Reinhoudt was born in 1942 in The Netherlands. He studied Chemical Technology at the Delft University of Technology and graduated (suma cum laude) in chemistry in 1969 with Professor H.C. Beijerman. From 1970 to 1975 he worked at Shell where he started the crown ether research program. In 1975 he was appointed as a part-time professor (extraordinarius) at the University of Twente followed by the appointment as a full professor in 1978. His research is focused on supramolecular chemistry and technology with Nanofabrication, molecular recognition, and non-covalent combinatorial synthesis as the major fields. In the past 30 years he has actively pursued the application of supramolecular chemistry. Application of supramolecular chemistry e.g. in the field of electronic or optical sensor systems, catalysis, molecular materials and in "lab-on-a-chip" technology. Professor Reinhoudt is the scientific director of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology. Since 2002 he is the chairman of the Board of NanoNed, the Dutch Network for Nanotechnology. He is a member of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences, Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Fellow of the Institute of Physics. He is the author of more than 750 scientific publications, patents, review articles, and books. He has been honored with the Izatt-Christensen award (1995), the Simon Stevin Mastership (1998) and Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion (2002). |

Charles M. Lieber was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1959. He attended Franklin and Marshall College for his undergraduate education and graduated with honors in Chemistry. After doctoral studies at Stanford University and postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology, he moved to the East Coast in 1987 to assume an Assistant Professor position at Columbia University. Here Lieber embarked upon a new research program addressing the synthesis and properties of low-dimensional materials. Lieber moved to Harvard University in 1991 and now holds a joint appointment in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, as the Mark Hyman Professor of Chemistry, and the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences. At Harvard Lieber has pioneered the synthesis of a broad range of nanoscale materials, the characterization of the unique physical properties of these materials and the development of methods of hierarchical assembly of nanoscale wires, together with the demonstration of applications of these materials in nanoelectronics, nanocomputing, biological and chemical sensing, neurobiology, and nanophotonics. Lieber has also developed and applied a new chemically sensitive microscopy for probing organic and biological materials at nanometer to molecular scales. This work has been recognized by a number of awards, including the Nanotech Briefs Nano 50 Award (2005), ACS Award in the Chemistry of Materials (2004), World Technology Award in Materials (2004 and 2003), Scientific American Award in Nanotechnology and Molecular Electronics (2003), New York Intellectual Property Law Association Inventor of the Year (2003), APS McGroddy Prize for New Materials (2003), Harrison Howe Award (2002), MRS Medal (2002), Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology (2001), NSF Creativity Award (1996) and ACS Pure Chemistry Award (1992). Lieber is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Fellow of the American Physical Society, the Institute of Physics and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Lieber is Co-Editor of Nano Letters, and also serves on the Editorial and Advisory Boards of a number of science and technology journals. |
