Frontiers in nano and micro-device design for applied nanophotonics, biophotonics and nanomedicine

Book Announcement

Bentham Science Publishers

This reference informs readers about nanoscale design and synthesis of different nanomaterials. Chapters of the book account for variable nanoarchitecture, while explaining concepts which are central to the field of nanotechnology. It explains how nanodevices and microdevices can be used for nanophotonics, biophotonics and drug delivery applications. Advanced biochemical techniques ranging from fluorescence, plasmonics, enhanced plasmonics (EP) to metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) from colloidal dispersion to single luminescent nanoplatforms and nanospectroscopy, microfluidics, nanofluidics, silica wave-guiding, lasers, nanolasers and photonic circuits for enhanced signal detections are also presented. In addition, proof of concept ideas of microdevices and nanodevices to real applications within other allied disciplines such as genomics, biochemistry, drug delivery and clinical chemistry (based on advanced optical detection and imaging) are highlighted. The book is an informative reference for readers studying biochemistry, pharmacology, biomedical engineering and related subjects at all levels, as well as general readers who want to learn about advanced applications in optics and photonics.

In addition, proof of concepts of microdevices and nanodevices to real applications within genomics, biochemistry, drug delivery and clinical chemistry based on advanced optical detection and imaging were shown, as well as microfluidics, nanofluidics, silica wave-guiding, lasers, nanolasers and photonic circuits for enhanced signal detections.
 

Latest Nobel-prize awarded developments in Physics and Chemistry on Advanced Laser Instrumentation and applications, Single Molecule detection (SMD) and Biochemistry were also included.

 

About the Author:

A. Guillermo Bracamonte obtained his PhD at National University of Cordoba (UNC), Córdoba, Argentina. Afterwards, he held a postdoctoral position such as in Canada, at Centre d’Optique, photonique et laser (COPL), Laval University (Québec), and at Department of Chemistry, University of Victoria (British Columbia).Then, he was a visiting researcher at Institut für Organische Chemie, University of Regensburg,Germany; and he held a research position at Institute of Polymer Science and Engineering; and NASA Astrobiology Institute, University of Akron, USA. Since 2015, he has been an assistant professor at UNC and a researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), Argentina, where he has worked on the design and synthesis of Multifunctional Nanoplatforms for Nanophotonics, Biophotonics and Nanomedicine applications, in collaboration with International Research Institutions. He has also participated as: reviewer, member of the Editorial Board of International Scientific Journals and Conferences; and as member of the Commission of Technological Development and Transference at UNC. And recently he was founder of a Startup as Company Entrepreneurship for Nano-Bio-solutions. As well he is an active member of many regional and International Research Scientific Societies.
