Dedication
We dedicate this special issue of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research to the late Professor Mark A. Shannon, the
James W. Bayne Professor in the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering of the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Professor Shannon served both as Director of the Center of Advanced Materials for the
Purification of Water with Systems and the Micro-Nano-Mechanical Systems Laboratory at UIUC. He made significant
contributions to many areas of “Nanotechnology for Sustainable Development” including water purification,
micro/nanofabrication, micro/nanofluidics and analytical chemistry. Professor Shannon was also the co-founder of
Cbana Labs, Inc, a UIUC spin off company that is developing and commercializing micro-gas chromatograph analyzers.
In addition to being an exceptional scientist/engineer, Mark was a great human being who cared about others. He was a
passionate advocate for global water sustainability and worked tirelessly to advance the science, technology and availability
of clean water. Mark also worked hard to promote international collaboration in water science and technology. During his
last international trip, he traveled to South Korea to give a keynote presentation on “The Coming Revolution in Water
Impacting Energy and Health” for the 2010 KAIST EEWS International Workshop. Professor Shannon passed away on
Sunday, October 14, 2012 in Urbana-Champaign. We miss his leadership and deep insight into water science, engineering
and technology.

This edition of the special issue of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research (JNR) devoted to “Nanotechnology for Sustainable
Development” is a timely effort in an exciting research area where groundbreaking technological developments are
taking place. The content of this special JNR issue is based primarily on invited articles derived from the presentations and
discussions during two international conferences that were held at the California Institute of Technology in 2011:
1) The Eighth US-Korea Forum on Nanotechnology: (http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/org/nanotechnology-forum/
Forum_8/GeneralInfo.htm).
2) The Resnick Sustainability Institute Workshop on Critical Materials for Energy Generation and Storage
(http://resnick.caltech.edu/e-critical-materials.php).
We thank all the participants and speakers of both meetings. For the Eight US-Korea Nanotechnology Forum, we thank the
Korean co-organizers of the conference: 1) Prof. Jo Won Lee of Hanyang University, Mr. Chang Woo Kim, Director General
of the National Nanotechnology Policy Center (NNPC) of Korea and Dr. Dae Sup So of Korea Institute of Science and
Technology Information (KISTI). For the Resnick Institute Critical Materials Workshop, we thank the session leaders and
report co-editors: Prof. Roderick Eggert (Colorado School of Mines) and Jack Lifton (Co-founding Principal of Technology
Metals Research). We also thank Dr. Mihail Roco (NSF Senior Advisor for Nanotechnology and JNR Editor-In-Chief)
and the JNR staff for their constant support throughout the edition of this special issue. We greatly appreciate Dr. Roco’s
leadership in helping bring sustainable development to the forefront of the nanotechnology research agenda worldwide.
Finally, we thank the NNPC of KISTI (South Korea) and the Caltech Resnick Sustainability Institute (USA) for their financial
and in-kind support of this project.

About the Editors
Prof. Mamadou S. Diallo holds a joint faculty appointment between the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and
Technology (KAIST) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). At KAIST, Prof. Diallo serves as Associate
Professor in the Graduate School of Energy, Environment, Water and Sustainability (EEWS). At Caltech, Prof. Diallo is a
visiting Faculty Associate in the Environmental Science and Engineering Department of the Division of Engineering and
Applied Science. During the last 10 years, Prof. Diallo and his collaborators have been pioneering the applications of
dendrimer nanotechnology to challenging problems in environmental and industrial separations. His current research
interests and activities focus on the development of advanced separations materials and systems for sustainable chemistry,
engineering and materials (SusChEM) using dendritic macromolecules and polymeric micro/nanofibers as building blocks.
Prof. Diallo is also the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of AquaNano, LLC, a California spin-off company that is
developing high performance media for water treatment and environmental remediation. In 2011, he became a member of
the Editorial Advisory Board of Environmental Science and Technology. In 2012, Prof. Diallo was appointed as Associate
Editor of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research.
Dr. Neil A. Fromer is the Executive Director of the Resnick Institute, Caltech’s endowed program for energy and
sustainability. Neil works with the faculty, staff and students across the entire campus to develop new ideas and research
technologies related to a clean energy future. Dr. Fromer received his PhD in semiconductor physics from UC Berkeley, and
his BS in Engineering/Physics from Brown University. Neil’s scientific background is in the interactions of light and
matter, and he has over a decade of experience working on solar energy technologies. However, lately he has also been very
interested by energy storage, clean fuel generation and use, smarter energy distribution systems, and energy efficiency. Prior
to his arrival at the Resnick Institute, Neil Fromer was the Director of Advanced Projects and the Director of Reliability and
Testing for Soliant Energy, a concentrating photovoltaic company. While at Soliant, Neil directed the development, testing
and certification of a new solar panel, designed specifically to generate the most energy on commercial rooftops. During
this time, Neil was actively involved in defining the certification process of this new panel, and was responsible for Soliant
receiving the first certification to the UL8703 safety certification for concentrating PV systems. Neil is still active on the
technical review panel for UL8703. Previously, Neil worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, developing new
low-cost solar cells from inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles, and also on the commercialization of energy efficient LED
light bulbs and fixtures.
Dr. Myung S. Jhonis a Professor of Chemical Engineering, a member of the Data Storage Systems Center and the Institute
for Complex Engineered Systems at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. Professor Jhon received his B.S. in
Physics from Seoul National University, Korea, and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Chicago. He served as a
visiting professor at the U.S. Department of Energy (National Energy Technology Laboratory and Sandia National
Laboratories), University of California at Berkeley, IBM Almaden Research Center, and the Naval Research Laboratory. He
also served as a consultant to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. During his leave of absence from
Carnegie Mellon, he served as the President & CEO of Doosan DND Co., Ltd and also served as a World Class University
Professor at Sungkyunkwan University in Korea. Professor Jhon's research focuses on the fundamentals in engineering
science and their application to the state-of-the-art engineering problems. He has contributed over 400 publications in
the areas of nanotechnology, computational methods, information storage systems, semiconductors, equilibrium and
non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, nucleation, fluid and solid mechanics, interfacial dynamics, polymer engineering,
rheology, fuel cell, multiphase flow, tribology, chemical kinetics, and organic light-emitting devices & chemical mechanical
polishing equipment.
