Materials Science and NanoEngineering

Boris Yakobson

Karl F. Hasselmann Professor, Materials Science and NanoEngineering

Member, Ken Kennedy Institute

Dr. Yakobson's research interests are in theory and modeling of structure, kinetics, and properties of materials derived from macroscopic and fundamental molecular interactions. He has done ground-breaking work on the physical properties of nanotubes, in particular their electro-mechanics, and recently with graphene and graphane.
