Nicole Grobert - Publications#
Accurate control of mechanism is the key to the production of nanostructures materials with the precisely predetermined structures needed for paradigm shifting technological applications. This is the basic key to Nanotechnology and is not well appreciated. Nicole’s strategy is to subject growth of nanostructured materials to systematic detailed study and it is absolutely crucial to achieving this major goal. It will be essential to develop this control in order to make these nanomaterials economically technically viable for industrial applications and achieve the exciting applications they promise.
Most of her work on carbon nanotubes and other nanomaterials has been published in some 160 research articles in the highest-ranking journals including: Nature, Science, PNAS, Physical Review Letters and Advanced Materials and she is now internationally recognised as an extremely talented scientist with over 12200 independent citations and an h-factor of 53. Several of her breakthroughs, highlighted in Chemical Engineering News, were recognised to be of great merit and selected for the Journal of Nano Science and Technology. Moreover, she has been interviewed by the BBC and featured on BBC Newsnight.
