Rustem Ismagilov Associate Professor in Chemistry Areas of Expertise:
Steve Koppes |
Background:
Rustem Ismagilov specializes in understanding and controlling complex chemical and biological systems at critical times and locations using microfluidics, the flow of fluids through channels thinner than a human hair. Ismagilov's work involves components of chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. He has demonstrated how to introduce chaotic mixing inside droplets flowing through microfluidic channels. Chaotic mixing allows researchers to precisely control the timing of chemical reactions in studying the dynamics of complex reaction networks. In 2004, Ismagilov received a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. Also in 2004, Technology Review magazine named him to its list of the world's "100 Top Young Innovators." Ismagilov's latest honor is the 2008 American Chemical Society Award in Pure Chemistry.
