Who is Yuri Lvov?
Dr. Yuri Lvov is an expert on micromanufacturing and a professor of chemistry, and the Tolbert Pipes Eminent Endowed Chair on Micro and Nanosystems at the Institute for Micromanufacturing, Louisiana Tech University. He earned his B.S. degree from Moscow State University, Russia in 1974 and his Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from the same university in 1979. He subsequently worked at the Max Planck Institute, the Japanese ERATO Supramolecule Project, and the USA Naval Research Laboratory before coming to Louisiana Tech in 1999. He was named to his professorship in 2004.
His area of specialization is nanotechnology, specifically the nanoassembly of ultrathin organized films, bio/nanocomposites, nano/construction of ordered shells on tiny templates, and clay nanotubes for controlled release of bioactive agents. Lvov holds 9 US and Japanese patents on nanoassembly. He was among pioneers of the polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer assembly - a nanotechnology method which was first described in papers in 1993. LbL nanoassembly has already found industrial applications including eye lens modification, improvement of cellulose fiber for better fabric and paper, microcapsules for insulin sustained release and cancer drug nanocapsules.
