Richard B. Kaner is an American synthetic inorganic chemist. He is a distinguished professor and the Dr. Myung Ki Hong Endowed Chair in Materials Innovation[1] at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he holds a joint appointment in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Department of Material Science and Engineering.[2][3] Kaner conducts research on conductive polymers (polyaniline), superhard materials and carbon compounds, such as fullerenes and graphene.[4]
He has served on the board of directors for California NanoSystems Institute.[5] Kaner serves as Chief Scientific Adviser to Hydrophilix, Nanotech Energy, and Supermetalix, university spin-off companies.
Career
[edit]Kaner was an adjunct professor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia in 2010.[6] He was the Eka-Granules Lecturer at the University of Tasmania, and was a visiting professor at the University of Wollongong.[3] He is an associate editor of the Materials Research Bulletin.[3]
