Two- and three-dimensional nanoparticale assembly. Particle surface modification via nanomaterials and molecular-directed assembly.
ILONA KRETZSCHMAR is an associate professor in chemical engineering at The City College of New York. She earned her diploma and PhD degrees in chemistry from the Technical University of Berlin. During her graduate studies with Prof. H. Schwarz, she studied reactions of metal cations with organic molecules in the gas phase employing Fourier-transform ion-cyclotron resonance and Guided-Ion Beam mass spectrometry. From 2000 to 2002, she was a Feodor-Lynen postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, where she worked on hydrocarbon radical-rearrangement reactions on clean and modified metal surfaces. She then became a research associate in molecular electronics in the department of electrical engineering at Yale University in 2002 with Prof. M.A. Reed.
