Alireza Ghorbani

Graduate Research Assistant/In-Situ Nanomedicine Laboratory (ISNL) manager,
Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering
University of Illinois at Chicago

Research Interests: Alireza's primary interest is In-situ Transmission Electron Microscopy of Nanomaterials. He synthesized novel nanomaterials to study and characterize them under Transmission Electron Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope. Also, He is interested in studying the reactions and interactions of Nanoparticles using In-Situ TEM. This includes nucleation, growth, and lithiation of Nanoparticles under the electron Beam. His other interest is studying the interaction of nanomaterials with Bacteria and Cells.
