There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: "Micro/nano-fluidic Devices Based on Focused Electromechanical Fields for Large Biomolecule Delivery, Sensing, and Imaging" - Andrei G. Fedorov, PhD - Georgia Tech
Full Summary: The Petit Institute Breakfast Club seminar series was started with the spirit of the Institute's interdisciplinary mission in mind and started to feature local Petit Institute faculty member's research in a seminar format. Faculty are often asked to speak at other universities and conferences, but rarely present at their home institution, this seminar series is an attempt to close that gap. The Petit Institute Breakfast Club is open to anyone in the bio-community.

Andrei G. Fedorov, PhD
Professor and Woodruff Faculty Fellow
School of Mechanical Engineering
Georgia Tech
Andrei Fedorov’s research deals with understanding and exploitation of unique nanoscale physical and chemical properties of materials and development of novel microchemical devices. His current research efforts focus on micro/nano scale catalysis and reaction engineering, electron-beam CVD of nanomaterials, development of nanoelectrospray source for mass spectrometry, nano-patterning of self-assembled monolayes, cryogenic microsystems for thermal management of electronics, and theoretical analysis of AFM-based multifunctional scanning probes for biological interfaces. Applications of Fedorov’s research range from micro fuel cells to portable water/air disinfection devices to bioanalytical instrumentation. Fedorov has authored more than 120 archival technical papers in leading journals as well as numerous patent applications in micro/nanotechnology.
