Thomas J Webster
Thomas J. Webster’s (H index: 107; Google Scholar) degrees are in chemical engineering from the University of Pittsburgh (B.S., 1995; USA) and in biomedical engineering from RPI (Ph.D., 2000; USA). He has served as a professor at Purdue (2000–2005), Brown (2005–2012), and Northeastern (2012–2021; serving as Chemical Engineering Department Chair from 2012–2019) Universities and has formed over a dozen companies who have numerous FDA approved medical products currently improving human health. He currently serves as a professor, biomedical engineering, Hebei University of Technology and Professor, Center for Biomaterials, Vellore Institute of Technology. Prof. Webster’s research explores the use of nanotechnology in numerous applications. Specifically, his research addresses the design, synthesis, and evaluation of nanophase materials (i.e., materials with fundamental length scales less than 100 nm) as more effective biomedical materials. He has directed numerous international centers in biomaterials and has graduated over 200 students with over 750 peer-reviewed publications. His research on nanomedicine has received attention in media including MSNBC, NBC Nightly News, PBS DragonFly TV, ABC Nightly News via the Ivanhoe Medical Breakthrough Segment, Fox News, the Weather Channel, NBC Today Show, NBC Nightly News, National Geographic TV series on the future of medicine, ABC Boston, Discovery Channel, and more. His work has been on display at the London and Boston Science Museums. He has helped to organize 27 conferences emphasizing nanotechnology in medicine and has organized over 83 symposia at numerous conferences emphasizing biological interactions with nanomaterials.
