Understand the principles, practices, and applications of bionanotechnology
This hands-on textbook covers all aspects of bionanotechnology from an engineering perspective. The book delves into a wide variety of topics, including material sciences, electromagnetics, general physics, fluid flow, thermodynamics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and microfabrication.
Developed from an advanced engineering course taught by its authors, Engineering Concepts in Bionanotechnology fully explains all of the underlying concepts and shows how that theory can be directly applied in practical applications. You will get examples, problem sets, and real-world case studies that illustrate each concept. The book contains complete discussions on microfluidics, DNA technology, and nanoparticles.
Jie Chen, Ph.D., is a professor in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, AB, Canada). He is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, USA from which he received his Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering. His cross-disciplinary research explores new nanoscale device and circuit designs as well as nanotechnology for biomedical applications.
