Vikas Berry (born 1977, Pune, India) is an Indian-American scientist, engineer, and academic. Berry is the head of the department of chemical engineering at the University of Illinois Chicago.[1][2] He held the William H. Honstead endowed professorship at the Kansas State University from 2011 to 2014.[3] Berry is a prolific researcher and an expert in the areas of bio-interfaced two-dimensional materials and 2D nanostructures (such as graphene and graphene nanoribbons).[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
Research[]
Berry has contributed to many research areas. He has developed several bionanotechnologies, including COVID detector, cancer detectors, ALS sensors, microbial fuel cells, biocompatible papers, and DNA-transistors.[4][5][6] He has also developed novel nano-devices such as ultrafast detectors, photodetector, sodium-ion batteries, 3D printing gels, Raman enhancer, IR-sensor, molecular machines, and graphene liquid cells for TEM.[7][8][9] Berry has also contributed to 2D material science and technology, including nanotomy, 2D synthesis and growth,[10] non-destructive graphene functionalization, boron nitride chemistries, gold nanostructures, microwave induced reduction and nanocrystallization, wrinkles in 2D nanomaterials,[11] and 2D Composites[12]
Berry's research has been covered by several national publications, including The Economist,[5] Washington Post,[4] Wall Street Journal,[6] The Engineer,[7] Zee News,[13] New Electronics,[14] Nature,[8] and other outlets.[9][15][16][17]
