Developing new materials and novel processes has continued to change the world. The M3I3 Initiative at KAIST has led to new insights into advancing materials development by implementing breakthroughs in materials imaging that have created a paradigm shift in the discovery of materials. The Initiative features the multiscale modeling and imaging of structure and property relationships and materials hierarchies combined with the latest material-processing data.
To a certain extent, the Chicago native (who moved to Greece at 10 or 11 to live with an uncle s family after the death of his mother) will be returning home four decades after graduating from the U of C with a chemistry degree.
Of the trustees who gave him the nod, nearly a dozen were on campus then. Financier Byron Trott and Brady Dougan, who endowed a professorship in molecular engineering, were classmates of Alivisatos. Andrew Alper, former board chair, was a year ahead.
Alivisatos specializes in nanoscience, the study of extraordinarily tiny matter and how it can be manipulated to form new materials or speed computation. His personal lab at Berkeley turned out research into quantum dot crystals for video display screens and spawned two startup companies, one sold to a larger firm and another whose accumulated revenue has topped $250 million.
