For his contributions to advanced materials research, Richard Robinson, associate professor of materials science and engineering at Cornell, received a Solutions Innovation Research Award from Agilent Technologies that will aid his research groups’ efforts to characterize the structures of novel high-entropy nanomaterials. Robinson specializes in colloidal nanoparticle synthesis and applies nanosynthetic design concepts to control nanomaterials’ composition, shape, size and surface to tailor their properties. As part of his award, Robinson will receive a one-year loan of an Agilent Cary 630... Read more
