معرفی
Dr. James W. Schneider is a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Courtesy Faculty in Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. He holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin (1992) and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota (1998), followed by postdoctoral research at the Naval Research Laboratory. His research focuses on self-assembly principles in biomaterials, particularly amphiphilic molecules for applications in DNA/RNA detection, medical device development, and biomanufacturing process monitoring. Key contributions include micelle-based DNA electrophoresis and PNA amphiphile technologies for nucleic acid quantitation.
Research interests span bionanotechnology, medical devices, and biomaterials with emphasis on programmable materials for diagnostic tools. Notable awards include the NSF CAREER Award (2001) and Beckman Young Investigator Award (2002), and he is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (2014).
Current work includes collaborations with the Center for Nucleic Acids Science and Technology (CNAST) on PNA-based viral contaminant detection systems and surfactant studies in nonpolar liquids. His lab develops bioinspired materials for applications in biomanufacturing, drug delivery, and rapid diagnostic technologies.
