Navid Saleh
Assistant Professor
Education
- Postdoctoral Training, Yale University, New Haven, CT (2007-2008)
- Ph.D., Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA (2007)
- M.S., Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA (2004)
- B.S., Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh (2001)
Research Interest
Dr. Saleh’s primary research focus is on environmental applications and implications
of engineered nanomaterials. His research is at the interface of several disciplines,
including colloid/surface science, molecular biology, nanotechnology, and nano-medicine.
More specifically, Dr. Saleh’s research centers on problems involving physicochemical
and biophysical processes in natural and environmental systems that includes: (i)
developing environmental remediation technologies using smart nanomaterials, (ii)
fundamental understanding of fate and transport of engineered nanomaterials, (iii)
evaluating interactions of engineered nanomaterials with biological species in the
environment, and (iv) innovating advanced agents in nano-medicine for drug delivery
and cell tracking (MRI).
