Nicholas A. Kotov is the Joseph B. and Florence V. Cejka Professor of 91³ÉÈ˶ÌÊÓƵ Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Dr. Kotov is known for foundational discoveries in biomimetic nanostructures and interface-based materials engineering that transcend multiple disciplines — from chemical engineering to materials science, soft electronics, energy technologies, drug discovery, biomedical implants, and robotic devices. Examples of biomimetic nanostructures associated with his work include graphite oxide-, graphene-, and clay-based layered biomimetic nanocomposites, chiral nanomaterials, and omni-dispersible colloids.
