ongyou Fan, research professor in the Department of Chemical and Nuclear Engineering at The University of New Mexico, and a principal member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories, has been selected for the Fred Kavli Distinguished Lectureship in Nanoscience. He will give his presentation at the 2015 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco. Precise control of structural parameters through nanoscale engineering

to improve optical and electronic properties of functional nanomaterials remains an outstanding challenge. Previous work has been conducted largely at ambient pressure and relies on specific chemical or physical interactions such as van der Waals interactions, dipole-dipole interactions, chemical reactions, and ligand-receptor interactions. In his presentation, Fan will introduce a stress-induced fabrication method that uses mechanical compressive force applied to nanoparticles to

induce structural phase transition and to consolidate new nanomaterials with precisely controlled structures and tunable properties. He received a BS degree from the Department of Chemistry at Jilin University, a MS degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the field of polymer chemistry and physics, and a PhD degree from The University of New Mexico in the field of nanoporous materials and composites. Fan and his research programs have been recognized by multiple awards, including the Sandia National Labs Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Award for Excellence in 2007, the R&D Magazine R&D 100 Award for technically significant products in 2007 and 2010, the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) Outstanding Technology Development Award in 2008 and 2013, a University of New Mexico Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award in 2005, and the Asian American Engineer of the Year Award in 2012.
