Description
About this Morning Session Workshop
During this workshop five female scientists will present their findings on design, preparation, and testing of nano-sized sensing platforms.
The idea is to show "the rise" of a very innovative research field that is heavily populated by amazing female scientists. Looking at the atomic scale to build the next generation of “Nanomachines” was the topic of last years Noble Prize in chemistry.
This workshop will highlight this concept in an open-forum setting. The last hour of the event will be an open discussion session where the invited scientists will talk about how they got interested in this line of research and what they hope to achieve through their future research directions.
Presenters:
Nivine Khashab will introduce this workshop (15min)
Emilie Ringe (40min)
Emilie became the Gott Research Fellow at Trinity Hall as well as a Newton International Research Fellow (Royal Society) in the Electron Microscopy group in the Materials Science and Metallurgy Department at Cambridge University.
Laura Sagle - Excellence In Research By Female Chemists (40min)
Laura is Assistant Professor of Chemistry at The University of Cincinnati. She will showcase the research of several women in various fields of chemistry.
Su-Yung Park - DNA-Directed Self-Assembly of Nanoparticles for Dynamic Nanostructures. (40min)
Su-Yung will present a new approach to fabricate responsive free standing films of gold nanoparticles, based on the programmable DNA-directed self-assembly and the layer-by-layer (LbL) thin film fabrication technique. This approach provides a way to generate dynamic nanostructures that can undergo complex and programmable shape transformation that are difficult to achieve with conventional approaches based on prototypical polymers.

Laura Sagle
Laura Sagle is Assistant Professor of Chemistry at The University of Cincinnati. Her current research areas include: Protein-nanoparticle devices for improved LSPR biosensing, development of improved, biologically compatible SERS and LSPR substrates, benchtop methods for nanofabrication at the sub 20 nm level (for single biomolecule applications).
Niveen M. Khashab
Niveen M. Khashab is an Associate Professor in the Physical Sciences and Engineering Division at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). During her doctoral studies at the University of Florida, Prof. Khashab trained in organic chemistry in the laboratory of Prof. Alan R. Katritzky. Prof. Khashab received the Crow award for organic innovation in 2006 and AlMarai award for excellence in nanotechnology in the Middle East region in 2013. She is also the 2017 recipient of the L’Oreal-Unesco international women in science award. Her current efforts focus on the design, synthesis, and applications of organic-inorganic hybrid materials that are porous and dynamically controlled by stimuli (pH, light, magnet, enzymes….).
Shahad AlSaiari
Shahad AlSaiari is a PhD student in Bioscience program at KAUST. She joined KAUST in 2012 as a master student, under the supervision of Dr. Niveen Khashab. Her research focuses on the development of nanoantibiotics for the combat of infectious diseases.
So-Jung Park
Dr. So-Jung Park is a professor in the department of chemistry and nanoscience at Ewha Womans University. She obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry at Northwestern University in 2002 under the guidance of Prof. Chad Mirkin. Her PhD work was recognized by the Nobel Laureate Signature Award for Graduate Education in Chemistry. After postdoctoral research with Prof. Paul Barbara at University of Texas at Austin, she joined the faculty of the department of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania as an assistant professor in the fall of 2005 and promoted to an associate professor with tenure in 2012. She moved to Ewha Womans University as a professor in 2013. Her current research focuses on self-assembly of nanoparticles and functional polymers. She is currently serving as an associate editor of ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces and an advisory board member for Nanoscale.
