Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology

Jolanda Spadavecchia is a senior researcher. Her research activities are focused on the realization of nanoparticles and biosensors. In particular, she is interested in the processes responsible for the bioconjugation of protein, macromolecules or DNA oligonucleotides onto gold nanoparticles and substrates for the creation of optical biosensors. She is currently involved in the synthesis of Polymeric nanoparticles and the development of Nano-hybrid materials for Nanomedicine. Actually she has an active collaboration with Berlin and Louvre Museum in order to establish the mechanism responsible of the AuNP formation at the surface of ancient ivory objects from different archaeological and historical contexts.

Elsayed Elkhatib is a Professor of Environmental Soil Chemistry at Alexandria University in Egypt; he received his PhD Degree in Soil Chemistry from West Virginia University, USA. He worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Appalachian Soil and Water Conservation Research Laboratory at Beckley and as a Visiting scientist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, at Blacksburg for two and a half years. Dr. Elkhatib research emphasizes the fate and transport of contaminants under field and laboratory conditions. Elkhatib supervised /supervising 10 PhD and 30 MS students. He is the recipient of numerous international research and higher education development grants. He is the author of 15 books and more than100 reviewed Journal articles and the Editor-in -Chief and Editor of two international journals. Professor Elkhatib is currently a director of the program on Developing MS in Water Research Management at Alexandria University" and is engaged in several projects on the subject of developing “green”, low-cost nanomaterials derived from bio-wastes and industrial wastes for remediation of contaminated water and soil.
