Dr.
Kenneth J. Klabunde Distinguished Chemistry Professor, Kansas State University Speaking On: "Nanotechnology: Innovation for the 21st Century" Dr. Kenneth J. Klabunde is one of the pioneers in the exciting and rapidly evolving multi-discipline field of Nanotechnology which involves the creation of materials, devices and systems through manipulating matter less than 100 nanometers in length. A nanometer is one-millionth of a millimeter, so engineers and scientists in nanotechnology work with items near atomic size. Dr. Klabunde currently serves as University Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. In addition, he is the founder of NanoScale Corporation, a technology company founded to develop and commercialize NanoActive materials and technologies. Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Dr. Klabunde received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry from Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, his Doctorate of Philosophy in Chemistry from the University of Iowa, and pursued postdoctoral studies at Pennsylvania State University. Appointed University Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, a designation he has held since 1988, Dr. Klabunde has received numerous honors including the American Chemical Society Midwest Award (1998), the Huck Boyd Award as Kansan of the Year in Technology (2002), Kansas State University Provost Lecturer (2003), University of Iowa Liberal Arts and Sciences Alumni Fellow (2003); Women in Engineering and Science Award for “Making a Difference” (2005), and the Kansas State Entrepreneurial Award (2005). Most recently, Dr. Klabunde, a pioneer in the study of microscopic
nanoparticles, received the prestigious Popular Mechanics Magazine 2005
Breakthrough Invention Award as an innovator who will help shape the world’s
future through science, technology, and new products that represent
benchmarks of engineering. Dr. Klabunde has been a guest speaker at the
Da Vinci Institute. |
