Dr. Vijayaraghavan's research touches upon a breadth of nano-physics and materials engineering topics, including: exfoliation, growth, and electronic devices of graphene, large-scale assembly of sorted single-walled carbon nanotubes, applications of chirality-sorted single-walled carbon nanotube devices, voltage-contrast scanning electron microscopy of nanotube assemblies, and single-walled carbon nanotube-based electronic devices. Beyond spectroscopic and electronic characterization of nanocarbon devices, Dr. Vijayaraghavan's recent research endeavors have focused on developing targeted, non-toxic cancer treatment via "differentiation-based nano-therapy".
Bio: Dr. Aravind Vijayaraghavan received his B. Tech from the Department of Metallurgical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras in Chennai, India. In 2005, he was awarded his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnique Institute (RPI) under the supervision of Prof. Pulickel Ajayan. As an Alexander-von-Humboldt research fellow, he pursued his postdoctoral studies at the Institut für Nanotechnologie at the Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) followed by a senior postdoctoral associate position in Michael Strano's lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 2010, Dr. Vijayaraghavan was appointed to group leader at the University of Manchester as part of the School of Materials and National Graphene Institute (NGI).
He is the recipient of several awards, including the Joshua Phillips Award for Innovation in Science Engagement and the Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (HEA). Dr. Vijayaraghavan is a member of the IEC TC113 committee as a UK expert on graphene, the NTI/1 nanotechnology committee of the British Standards Institute, the public coordinator for the NGI, and the public coordinator and board member of the Northwest Nanoscience Doctoral Training Center (NOWNANO DTC).
