Speaker’s Short Bio:
Christy Haynes is the Distinguished McKnight University Professor at the University of Minnesota where she leads the Haynes Research Group, a lab dedicated to applying analytical and nanomaterials chemistry in the context of biomedicine, ecology and toxicology. Haynes completed her undergraduate work at Macalester College in 1998 and earned a PhD in chemistry at Northwestern University in 2003 under the direction of Richard P. Van Duyne. Her thesis work focused on plasmonic nanomaterials and applications of surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and that work continues in her independent laboratory that was launched at the University of Minnesota in 2005. Among many honors, she has been recognized as an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow, a Searle Scholar, a Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar, and a National Institutes of Health "New Innovator." Haynes is currently the associate head of the University of Minnesota Department of Chemistry, the associate director of the National Science Foundation-funded Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology, and an associate editor for the journal Analytical Chemistry.
