Research Interests
Dr. Nair directs the Nanomaterials and Nanoengineering research group in the School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech. The research of his group has important potential applications in several areas including biomolecule sensing, energy management, and separations. Analytical chemical engineering fundamentals are carefully combined with synthetic chemistry, mechanistic experiments, theory, and simulation methods, to develop synthesis-structure-property relationships of technological and fundamental interest. Dr. Nair also teaches a unique course: Chemical Engineering in Nanoscale Systems, which explores the principles underlying the fabrication and analysis of nanotechnological materials and devices produced by chemical processing strategies.
