The laboratory develops carbon nanomaterials (e.g., graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon dots) and hybrid nanostructured materials for disease diagnostics\/treatment, energy, molecular logic, and small-scale propulsion applications. The use of biological agents (enzymes, antibodies, DNA, cells) and surface chemistry techniques are widely explored within our research. We also seek to understand and model the reaction-diffusion kinetics associated with the nano-bio interface. These research efforts are highly interdisciplinary and require expertise from nearly all engineering and science backgrounds. Please contact Prof. Claussen via email (jcclauss[at]iastate.edu) if you are interested in joining the group. We are currently looking for highly motivated postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduate students to join the group.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3 id=\"education-header\" class=\"dir-header\">Education<\/h3>\r\n<div>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>PhD, Biological Engineering, Purdue University, 2011<\/li>\r\n \t<li>MS, Mechanical Engineering,\u00a0Purdue University, 2008<\/li>\r\n \t<li>BS, Mechanical Engineering, University of Minnesota, 2006<\/li>\r\n \t<li>BA, Spanish and Portuguese Studies, University of Minnesota, 2006<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3 id=\"interest-header&quot;\" class=\"dir-header\">Interest Areas<\/h3>\r\n<div>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Biosensors (Electrochemical &amp; Optical)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Bio-Integrated Electronics<\/li>\r\n \t<li>BioMEMS and BioNEMS<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Micro\/Nanoscale Propulsion<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Carbon Nanomaterial Growth (Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Nanomanufacturing \/ Materials Printing<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Quantum Dots \/ Carbon Dots<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Mass Transport \/ Fluid Dynamics<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>","middle_name":"","isu_office":"1620 Howe $ 537 Bissell Rd. # Ames, IA 500111096","uid":[],"hide_isu_office":"0","lastname":"Claussen","publications":"<ul><li><strong>J.C.
