Hongjie Dai, PhD, Dr. Dai is one of the leading researchers in the field of nanotubes and a pioneer in site-selective chemical vapor deposition technology for nanotube synthesis. His group at Stanford University has done systematic and extensive work in understanding the chemistry and electronic properties of nanotubes and tested various synthesis approaches to growing nanotubes in a controlled fashion. His research has opened new ways of nanotube integration in a variety of electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical devices, which are now actively pursued by many research groups worldwide. Dr. Dai was the first to carry out fundamental experiments describing molecule-nanotube interactions and proposed nanotube use for gas, chemical, and biological sensors. His contributions to the fields of chemistry, electronics, and engineering have been recognized by various honors and awards, including American Chemical Society Pure Chemistry Award (2002), Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow (2001), and Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering (1999). Dr. Dai has over 60 publications in peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Science, Physical Review Letters, Journal of the American Chemical Society, and others.
Dr. Dai holds a bachelor's degree in Physics from Tsinghua University in Beijing, a master's degree in Applied Science
from Columbia University, and a doctorate in Physical Chemistry from Harvard University.
Michael Murray Mr. Murray founded New Millennium Partners I, LP in 1998 and currently serves as the Managing Director. New Millennium Partners is a seed stage venture capital firm with multiple funds under management and has worked with over 40 startups in the past seven years.
