Victor S.-Y. Lin, Professor of Chemistry, received his Ph.D. from
the University of Pennsylvania in the end of 1996. After working
as a Skaggs postdoctoral fellow at the Scripps Research Institute,
he joined the faculty at Iowa State in the fall of 1999. His
research centers on the design of functional nanoporous materials
for biotechnological and biomedical applications, such as
biosensor design, drug delivery, and gene transfection. His group
also specializes in the synthesis of mesoporous heterogeneous
catalysts for various reactions, such as cooperative catalysis,
carbonyl activation, biodiesel production, and other biorenewable
applications. Professor Lin has received a number of awards for
his work, including a National Science Foundation CAREER award in
2002, a LAS award for Early Achievement in Research/Artistic
Creativity in 2004 at Iowa State University, and an Outstanding
Technology Development award of the U.S. Federal Laboratory
Consortium in 2005. He serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of
the Advanced Functional Materials, WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
