معرفی
Shunji Egusa is an Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He holds a B.Sc. in Physics from The University of Tokyo and a Ph.D. in Physics from The University of Chicago. His postdoctoral research was conducted at MIT and the Cleveland Clinic. His research focuses on nanomaterials synthesis, nanomedicine, plasmonics, and their applications in cancer therapy and fluid dynamics at the nanoscale. Current projects include insulator-to-metal transitions in nanomaterials, protein-based biomaterials, and nanotechnology for leukemia treatment.
Research Interests:
- Insulator-to-metal transitions in nanocrystals
- Luminescent protein-gold complexes
- Nanomedicine for cancer chemotherapy
- Nano-cluster physics and chemistry
- Nanoscale fluid mechanics
Funding Sources: His work is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Army Research Office, NASA-NC Space Grant Consortium, Leukemia Research Foundation, and the PhRMA Foundation. Internal university grants have also been pivotal in early-stage research.
Lab Activities: The Egusa Lab emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, combining physics, chemistry, and biology to develop novel nanomaterials and their societal applications. Key facilities include advanced characterization tools for nanomaterials and biomaterials.
