Nanomaterials

SF Bay Area, USA

Alex Noy is a Senior Research Scientist at LLNL, which he joined as the Lab’s first E.O. Lawrence Fellow after getting his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Harvard University in 1998. Prior to that he received his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Moscow University in his native Russia. Since 2005 Noy also serves as an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of California Merced. His research group works at the intersection of biophysics and nanoscience and specializes in using one-dimensional nanomaterials to build biomimetic and bioengineered structures to control transport and communication at molecular scale. The current research portfolio in the Noy group centers on carbon nanotube nanofluidics, where they develop carbon nanotube porins and membranes to study transport in highly-confined environment and develop new separation technologies. Other projects in the group develop novel biolectronic devices that incorporate functional biological and biomimetic components to cre
