He has been granted patents in nanozeolite chemical technology and porous materials technology with four patents pending in materials science technology. Dr. Corkery is the Area Manager for Nanostructured Materials at the YKI, Institute for Surface Chemistry in Stockholm, Sweden, one of the leading surface chemistry institutes in the world. Dr. Corkery�s research is aimed at technical understanding and breakthrough, new materials discovery and industrial innovation in the areas of nano- and bio-nanotechnologies. He was formerly a research scientist with The Procter & Gamble Company and was leader of the company�s corporate colloid laboratory. He was responsible for developing nanostructure, biomembrane and complex fluid technologies. Dr. Corkery received his Bachelor of Science degree in Geology and Geophysics from the Australian National University as well as his Ph.D. in Physical and Materials Science where he was devoted entirely to nanotech and included extensive experimental and theoretical work on nanostructured clays, including halloysite. Dr. Corkery carried out postdoctoral research at the Australian National University as well as at the University of Lund in Sweden. |
