Kenneth S. Suslick (born 1952) is the Marvin T. Schmidt Professor of Chemistry Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. His area of focus is on the chemical and physical effects of ultrasound,[1] sonochemistry, and sonoluminescence.[2] In addition, he has worked in the fields of artificial and machine olfaction, electronic nose technology, chemical sensor arrays, and the use of colorimetric sensor arrays as an optoelectronic nose.[3][4]

Career

[edit]

Ken Suslick received his B.S. from the California Institute of Technology in 1974, his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1978, and came to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign immediately thereafter.

Professor Suslick is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (USA), Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, the American Chemical Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Materials Research Society, the Acoustical Society of America, the American Physical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Professor Suslick has mentored more than 75 Ph.D. students and 35 postdoctoral associates. He has published more than 500 scientific papers, edited four books, and holds more than 71 patents and patent applications. His papers have been cited more than 68,000 times and his h-index is 132 (i.e., 132 papers with 132 or more citations), as of January, 2024. His six most cited non-review scientific papers are listed below. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

In addition to his academic research, Professor Suslick has had significant entrepreneurial experience. He was the lead consultant for Molecular Biosystems Inc. and part of the team that commercialized the first echo contrast agent for medical sonography, Albunex™, which became Optison™ by GE Healthcare. In addition, he was the founding consultant for VivoRx Pharmaceuticals and helped invent and commercialize Abraxane™, albumin microspheres with a paclitaxel core, which is the predominant current delivery system for taxol chemotherapy for breast cancer; VivoRx became Abraxis Bioscience, which was acquired by Celgene for $2.9 billion. He then co-founded ChemSensing and its successor companies, Specific Diagnostics, Inc., and iSense Systems in Mountain View, for the commercialization of the Suslick group's chemical sensing technology with particular focus on biomedical applications, i.e., the Vitek REVEAL™ system. Specific Diagnostics Inc. was purchased in 2022 by the French Biotech company, BioMérieux.[11]

Research interests

[edit]

The Suslick Research Group at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign is multi-disciplinary and has worked on three major research areas: (1) the chemical and physical effects of ultrasound (which includes nano-materials synthesis and sonoluminescence); (2) the mechanochemistry of inorganic solids (including shock wave energy dissipation by MOFs, i.e., metal-organic framework solids); and (3) chemical sensing, molecular recognition, and artificial olfaction, which is a spinoff of earlier work on the bioinorganic and materials chemistry of metalloporphyrins. Of particular interest is the development of the optoelectronic nose, i.e., colorimetric sensor arrays for the detection of VOCs, toxic industrial chemicals, explosives, as well as diverse QA/QC applications for foods and beverages.[16]
