Profile
Expertise: <ul> <li>Nanotechnology <li>Nanoparticle assembly and synthesis <li>Complex fluids <li> Block copolymers, biopolymers </ul> Alexandridis' research focuses on creation of functional nanoparticles using novel self-assembly techniques. He is internationally known for his use of complex solutions to build nanoparticles.</ul> In 2007, was co-author of research that solved a critical bottleneck in the transport and capture of virus nanoparticles, making possible an "on the spot virus detector," a device that could rapidly sample and detect infectious biological agents, such as viruses. Alexandridis is a recipient of an NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award; the prestigious Young Investigator Award from the Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society; and he was awarded Greece's highest honor for young academics and scientists, the prestigious Bodossaki Foundation Academic Prize in Applied Science.
