Presented By: Applied Physics
Applied Physics Seminar: "Additive Nano-Manufacturing of Photonic Structures and Medicines"
Max Shtein, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, University of Michigan
Abstract:
Additive manufacturing is in nearly ubiquitous use for rapid prototyping, as well as for some manufacturing applications. Relatively little of it is practiced with nano-scale control of structure, which could enable unprecedented capabilities in a variety of emerging, high-value applications. In this talk, I will discuss some recent contributions made by our lab in additive manufacturing of functional materials and structures, with potential benefits to applications as diverse as photonics and medicine.
In the first example, we use optical simulations to predict the response of photonic crystals as a function of constituent material properties and structure, followed by nano-fabrication of the structures (e.g. Bragg mirrors and meta-sufaces) by electro-hydrodynamic jet printing (in collaboration with Barton’s group in ME). The interplay between ink formulation, eJet process parameters, and optical requirements presents constraints that can be overcome using a combination of material selection and photonic design principles.
In the second example, we use vapor mediated deposition of pharmaceutical substances to realize nanostructured drug formulations exhibiting enhanced bioavailability. We study the process of nanostructure formation, apply it to a range of therapeutically relevant compounds, and explore the potential of this approach in cost-effective manufacturing of medicines for global health and cancer treatment, among others.
Bio: Prof. Shtein earned his B.S. in Chemical Engineering at UC Berkeley (1998) and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, while co-advised by Prof. Benziger in ChE and Prof. Forrest in EE at Princeton (Summer 2004), where he developed key aspects of Organic Vapor Phase Deposition and invented Organic Vapor Jet Printing. He joined the Materials Science and Engineering department at the Univ. of Michigan in Fall 2004, where he now serves as Professor, with appointments in Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Macromolecular Science and Engineering, Art & Design, and formerly as faculty co-director for the Undergraduate Program in Entrepreneurship in the College of Engineering. His work has been recognized through several awards: the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the MSE Department Achievement Award, College of Engineering-wide Vulcans Prize for Excellence in Education, the Newport Award for Excellence and Leadership in Photonics and Optoelectronics, the Materials Research Society (MRS) graduate student Gold Medal Award, and others. He co-founded Arborlight, LLC (a multiple award-winning lighting technology), Sublime, LLC (a pharmaceutical technology company), and co-authored the book “Scalable Innovation: A Guide for Inventors, Entrepreneurs, and IP Professionals.” (Taylor & Francis, ISBN-10: 1466590971)
