Biography

Dr. Karen Martirosyan, an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College, is one of two academic researchers worldwide invited to make presentations at the Magnetics 2011 conference next week in San Antonio.            Dr. Martirosyan's research is focused on experimental condensed matter physics with a wide range of solid state phenomena at the nanostructured systems. His research focuses on two main areas: first, exploiting high energetic systems to produce novel nano-tailored materials for transport studies, energy, environmental and biomedical applications; second, elucidating the nano related physical phenomena. Active research is presently being carried out to explore high density nanoenergetic systems, magnetic, ferroelectric, multiferroic, superconductor devices and a variety of contrast agents for biomedical imaging and drug delivery systems. The research involves materials design, fabrication and characterization of physical properties. He serves on the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis and Journal of Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology and participated in several NSF panels at the CBET division.
