CMU Research Faculty
 Several
Central Michigan University faculty are conducting important research
that involve dendrimers and other nanotechnology structures. The
following is a list of faculty members, which includes a link to their CMU
Web site.
CMU Faculty
Minghui Chai, Chemistry
Chai is currently researching the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance and
the development of new NMR techniques and their application to the solution of
problems in Chemistry and Materials Science.
Brad Fahlman, Chemistry
The overall objective of Fahlman’s research is to design new and improved routes
to interesting and industrially useful nanostructural materials and thin films.
Jim Falender, Chemistry
Falender is currently studying the effect of electromagnetic fields on the
rheological properties of dendrimer suspensions.
Marco Fornari, Physics
Fornari’s research is in computational condensed matter physics and materials
science, in particular the electronic structure problem in semiconductors and complex
materials.
Stan Hirschi, Physics
Hirschi is working with colleagues in Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. His
research interests include both experimental and computational investigations in
rheology.
Bobby Howell, Chemistry
Howell’s recent publications include “Kinetics from Thermal Methods as a
Component of Mechanism Study” and “Thermal Degradation of Vinylidene
Chloride/Butyl Acrylate Copolymers”.
Anton Jensen, Chemistry
Jenson’s group has been working on the development of green organic catalysts
based on architecture of buckminsterfullerene (C60) molecules surrounding either
a polymer resin bead or dendrimer.
George Kaminski, Chemistry
Kaminski’s research interests embrace a wide range of basic and applied
computational chemistry problems. His main focus is on development of accurate
methods for assessing intra- and inter-molecular interactions in molecular simulations with empirical
force fields.
Dillip Mohanty, Chemistry
Mohanty’s recent publications include “Undesirable Reactions of Aqueous
Cyclodextrin Solutions with Polypropylene" and "Controlling the Permeability of
Multilayered Polyelectrolyte Films through Derivatization, Crosslinking, and
Hydrolysis”.
Valeri Petkov, Physics
Petkov’s research program and goals include x-ray diffraction of
polycrystalline, nanocrystalline and amorphous materials; computer simulations
(Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics); and magnetic properties of materials.
Leela Rakesh, Mathematics
Rakesh’s recent publications include “Mathematical modeling and physical
property measurements of vinylidene chloride /Alkyl acryl ate copolymer thermal
stability” and “Correlation between dynamic and relaxation modulus”.
Ajit Sharma, Chemistry
Sharma’s research interests are in the areas of Biochemistry and Clinical
Chemistry and include biochemical and clinical aspects of protein aggregation, solving applied
problems for clinical laboratories and the development of novel analytical
techniques for clinical analysis.
Andy Sieradzan, Physics
Sieradzan’s present research focuses on precise determination of atomic
transition matrix elements. These determine the strength of radioactive
transitions in atoms, and are important to many fundamental areas of physics and astronomy
