Nanoelectrochemistry

Michael V. Mirkin is professor of chemistry at Queens College, City University of New York. His professional interests are in the application of electrochemical methods to solving problems in physical and analytical chemistry and include charge-transfer reactions at solid–liquid and liquid–liquid interfaces, electrochemical kinetics, and nanoelectrochemistry. He has published more than 110 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters and co-edited the first monograph on scanning electrochemical microscopy. He earned a PhD in electrochemistry (1987) from Kazakh State University (former USSR) and did postdoctoral research at the University of Texas at Austin from 1990 to 1993. Shigeru Amemiya is associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh. He is the author or coauthor of more than 60 scholarly papers and book chapters in electroanalytical chemistry. His research interests are electrochemical sensing and imaging for biological and material studies, including the development of nanoscale scanning electrochemical microscopy and ultrasensitive ion-selective electrodes. He earned his BS (1993) and PhD (1998) in chemistry from the University of Tokyo, Japan, and received a postdoctoral fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science to work at the University of Tokyo and the University of Texas at Austin.
