معرفی
Anna C. Samia serves as the Rudolph and Susan Rense Professor of Chemistry and Chair of the Department of Chemistry at Case Western Reserve University, leading the Samia Research Group with active administrative and research responsibilities.
Her academic foundation includes a BS from the University of the Philippines-Diliman (1996), a PhD from Georgia Institute of Technology (2002), and postdoctoral training at Case Western Reserve University (2002-2003), Argonne National Laboratory (2003-2005), and CWRU School of Medicine (2005-2010).
Dr. Samia's research pioneers magneto-opto-electronic properties of intermetallic and metal oxide nanostructures through chemical design, targeting applications in nanotheranostics and environmental nanotechnology. Her group develops magnetic nanoparticle composites for MRI/MPI/hyperthermia, hybrid nanoparticles for environmental biosensing, and nanomaterial platforms for water treatment and agri-nanotechnology including targeted agrochemical delivery.
Analysis of her 2013-2014 publications reveals an interdisciplinary focus on functional nanomaterials bridging medical diagnostics (e.g., MPI theranostics), antibacterial applications (iron oxide-carbon nanochains), and electrochemical sensing (Pt-Ag nanoboxes), demonstrating consistent innovation in nanomaterial synthesis for real-world implementation.
