4月5日上午，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（The University of  Texas at Austin）Rod Ruoff教授应邀来苏州纳米所进行学术访问，并在A718会议室作了题为"Graphene-based and Graphene-derived Materials and their Properties"的学术报告，报告会由杨辉所长主持，相关科研人员和学生参加报告会。

Rod Ruoff教授在报告中详细介绍了他所领导研究组在石墨烯方面取得的研究成果，主要包括：在金属衬底表面制备大面积石墨烯，及相关的表征、物理特性，以及把石墨烯作为核心组件的器件研究；石墨烯基的微片（主要来自氧化石墨）的产生、研究和应用，这些石墨烯包括分散液以及由分散液和微波或热处理氧化石墨得到的粉体；源于石墨烯基前体（比如：活性微波膨化石墨氧化物（aMEGO）的新型碳的产生与研究。

报告结束后，Rod Ruoff教授与我所科研人员和学生就石墨烯应用方面的科学问题进行了广泛、深入的讨论。

Rod Ruoff earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Physics from the University of Illinois-Urbana in 1988, and was a Fulbright Fellow in 1988-89 at the Max Planck Institute fuer Stroemungsforschung in Goettingen, Germany. Prior to joining UT-Austin, he was the John Evans Professor of Nanoengineering in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University and director of NU’s Biologically Inspired Materials Institute from 2002-2007. He has co-authored 280 peer-reviewed publications devoted to chemistry, physics, materials science, mechanics, engineering, and biomedical science, is co-founder of Graphene Energy, Inc. and the founder of Graphene Materials, LLC. and Nanode, Inc. Dr. Ruoff is on the editorial board of IEEE-Nano; Composites, Science, and Technology; Carbon; Journal of Nanoengineering and Nanosystems; and is a Managing Editor and Editorial Board Member of NANO. He was a Distinguished Chair Visiting Professor at Sungkyukwan University’s Advanced Institute of NanoTechnology (SAINT) for several years.
