Bio

Khalid Lafdi is the Wright Brothers Institute Endowed Chair in nanomaterials. He joined the University of Dayton as a professor to lead the nano research activity and was involved in building the nano research capabilities at UD. In the last 15 years, he has built a state-of-the-art thermal and energy management laboratory. Also, he established a manufacturing transition facility to facilitate the scale-up processes and technology transfer. His 30 years of experience in advanced engineered materials has enabled his position to develop multifunctional composites, biomaterials for scaffolds and implants, thermal and energy management. At this time, he has more than 300 articles and chapters published in refereed journals, 4 edited books in the nanocomposites and thermal management and 4 patents with three major licensed technologies in nano-manufacturing to Nanosperse Inc, United Technology and Goodrich.
