The visit focused on CENIMAT | i3N, particularly in the area of Advanced Functional Materials and Nanotechnologies, with the objective to establish collaboration between the two institutions.
Prof. Hossam Haick is a specialist in the field of nanotechnology and diagnosis of non-invasive diseases. He has more than 170 publications in high-level journals in the field of nanotechnology and advanced and applied materials and in the area os chemistry. Prof. Haick has more than registered 28 patents for his inventions. The research interests of Prof. Haick include nanoparticle devices for screening, disease diagnosis and monitoring, nanomaterial-based (flexible) chemical sensors, electronic skin, respiration analysis, volatile biomarkers and electronically based molecules.
