Dr. Yi Tu
Presents Before the IEEE, Los Angeles Chapter
Santa
Barbara, CA, July 26, 2004
– First Nano today announced that Dr. Yi
Tu has been selected as a guest speaker to present before The
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Los
Angeles Chapter section meeting, on September 13, 2004 at First Nano
corporate headquarters. The Los Angeles chapter includes the Central
Coast, Buena Ventura and University of California, Santa Barbara
section IEEE members.
Dr. Tu’s lecture entitled “Chemical
Vapor Deposition Synthesis Of Carbon Nanotubes” will provide an
introduction to carbon nanotube structure, physical properties and
applications along with the most recent advancements in synthesis
using thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with the
EasyTubeÔ
System.
Tu
received a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Boston College under the
supervision of Professor Zhifeng Ren (1998-2003), studying
nanomaterials synthesis and applications. Additionally, Tu has
extensive experience in growth of random and aligned carbon
nanotubes using chemical vapor deposition method. He performed
intensive study on field emission properties of carbon nanotubes and
improved the performance and stability of carbon nanotube field
emitter by controlling the site density and modifying the surface of
carbon nanotube. Tu also developed a new type of carbon nanotube
based nanoelectrode arrays-electrochemical sensor that can be used
as a biosensor for glucose and other bio-molecular detection.
Currently, Dr. Tu concentrates
on nanomaterials research, product development, and collaborates
with First Nano’s customers to facilitate their nanotechnology
research.
