Ahmed Busnaina, Ph.D. is the William Lincoln Smith Chair Professor at Northeastern University and Director of the NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center for High Rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN). He is an internationally recognized authority in the area of surface cleaning and contamination control area. He is a leader in developing fast massive directed assembly of nanoscale elements (such as carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles, etc.). This includes developing templates to direct the assembly of nanoelements into nanoscale structures in a short time (in seconds) and over a large area. He is the author of more than 350 papers in refereed journals, proceedings and conferences, and has been invited to write more than 25 articles in several conferences, scientific and industrial publications. He edited and co-edited more than 15 proceedings and newsletters for many professional societies. He organized more than 80 conferences, workshops, symposia and programs for many professional societies. He consulted extensively to the semiconductor industry on a variety of issues and invited to teach more than 50 shortcourses and present 300 seminars and has 15 patents. He is widely quoted and has provided insights to several national/international news organizations and publications, ranging from Semiconductor International to Wall Street News wires. He serves on many advisory boards including Samsung Electronics; Chemical Industry Nanomaterials Roadmap, International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, Journal of Particulate Science and Technology, Journal of Environmental Sciences.
