Cibiyar Injiniya da Fasaha (IET) a yau (Oktoba 20) ta ba Farfesa Farfesa A. Mirkin Jami'ar Arewa maso yammacin Chadi lambar yabo ta 2022 Faraday.
Lambar yabo ta Faraday tana ɗaya daga cikin manyan lambobin yabo ga injiniyoyi da masana kimiyya, kuma ita ce babbar lambar yabo ta IET da aka bayar ga fitattun nasarorin kimiyya ko masana'antu. A cewar sanarwar hukuma, an karrama Mirkin saboda “ƙirƙira da haɓaka yawancin kayan aiki, hanyoyin, da kayan da suka ayyana zamanin zamani na nanotechnology.”
"Lokacin da mutane ke magana game da shugabanni masu daraja a duniya a cikin bincike na tsaka-tsaki, Chad Mirkin ya fito a kan gaba, kuma abubuwan da ya yi ba su da yawa sun tsara filin," in ji Milan Mrksic, mataimakin shugaban bincike a Jami'ar Northwestern. "Chad alama ce a fagen fasahar kere-kere, kuma saboda kyawawan dalilai. Sha'awarsa, sha'awarsa da basirar sa sun sadaukar da kai don magance manyan kalubale da ci gaba mai inganci. Nasarorinsa na kimiyya da na kasuwanci da yawa sun haifar da fasahohi masu amfani, kuma yana jagorantar al'umma mai fa'ida a Cibiyar Nazarin Nanotechnology ta kasa da kasa. nanotechnology."
An san Mirkin sosai don ƙirƙirar acid nucleic acid (SNA) da haɓakar nazarin halittu da sinadarai da tsarin warkewa da dabaru don haɗa kayan da aka dogara da su.
SNAs na iya kutsawa cikin sel da kyallen jikin mutum ta dabi'a kuma su shawo kan shingen ilimin halitta wanda tsarin al'ada ba zai iya ba, yana ba da damar gano kwayoyin halitta ko maganin cututtuka ba tare da cutar da ƙwayoyin lafiya ba. Sun zama tushen samfuran kasuwanci sama da 1,800 da aka yi amfani da su a cikin binciken likita, jiyya, da binciken kimiyyar rayuwa.
Har ila yau, Mirkin majagaba ne a fagen gano kayan tushen AI, wanda ya ƙunshi yin amfani da manyan hanyoyin haɗin gwiwa tare da koyon injin da manyan bayanai masu inganci waɗanda ba a taɓa ganin irin su ba daga manyan ɗakunan karatu na miliyoyin nanoparticles masu rufaffiyar matsayi. - Gano da sauri da kimanta sabbin kayan don amfani a masana'antu kamar su magunguna, makamashi mai tsafta, catalysis, da ƙari.
Mirkin kuma an san shi da ƙirƙira alƙalami nanolithography, wanda National Geographic mai suna a matsayin ɗaya daga cikin "Binciken Kimiyya na Kimiyya 100 waɗanda suka Canza Duniya", da HARP (High Area Rapid Printing), tsarin bugu na 3D wanda zai iya samar da tsattsauran ra'ayi, na roba, ko kayan yumbu. tare da rikodin rikodi. Shi ne wanda ya kafa kamfanoni da dama, ciki har da TERA-print, Azul 3D da kuma Holden Pharma, wadanda suka himmatu wajen kawo ci gaba a fasahar nanotechnology zuwa kimiyyar rayuwa, biomedicine da masana'antun masana'antu na ci gaba.
"Abin mamaki ne," in ji Milkin. "Mutanen da suka yi nasara a baya sun hada da wadanda suka canza duniya ta hanyar kimiyya da fasaha. Idan na waiwaya baya ga wadanda suka samu a baya, wadanda suka gano na'urar lantarki, mutum na farko da ya raba kwayar zarra, wanda ya kirkiro kwamfuta ta farko, labari ne mai ban mamaki, abin alfahari mai ban mamaki, kuma a fili ina matukar farin ciki da kasancewa cikin sa."
Medal na Faraday wani bangare ne na jerin lambar yabo ta IET na Nasara kuma ana kiranta da sunan Michael Faraday, uban electromagnetism, fitaccen mai kirkiro, chemist, injiniya da masanin kimiyya. Ko a yau, ka'idodinsa na electromagnetic conduction ana amfani da su sosai a cikin injinan lantarki da janareta.
Wannan lambar yabo, wacce aka fara ba ta shekaru 100 da suka gabata ga Oliver Heaviside, wanda ya shahara da ka'idarsa ta layukan watsa labarai, na daya daga cikin tsoffin lambobin yabo da har yanzu ake ba da su. Mirkin tare da fitattun laureates ciki har da Charles Parsons (1923), wanda ya kirkiri injin turbine na zamani, JJ Thomson, wanda aka yi la'akari da shi don gano electron a 1925, Ernes T. Rutherford, wanda ya gano nucleus (1930), da Maurice Wilks, an ba shi da taimako wajen tsarawa da gina kwamfuta ta farko1198).
"Dukkanin wadanda suka lashe lambar yabo a yau, masu kirkire-kirkire ne wadanda suka yi tasiri a duniyar da muke rayuwa a ciki," in ji shugaban IET Bob Cryan a cikin wata sanarwa. "Dalibai da masu fasaha suna da ban mamaki, sun sami babban nasara a cikin ayyukansu kuma sun zaburar da wadanda ke kusa da su. Ya kamata su yi alfahari da nasarorin da suka samu - sun kasance abin koyi ga masu zuwa na gaba."
Mirkin, Farfesa George B. Rathman na Chemistry a Kwalejin Fasaha da Kimiyya ta Weinberg, ya kasance mabuɗin ƙarfi a fitowar Arewa maso Yamma a matsayin jagoran duniya a ilimin kimiyyar nanoscience kuma wanda ya kafa Cibiyar Nazarin Nanotechnology ta Duniya (IIN) na Arewa maso Yamma. Mirkin kuma farfesa ne a fannin likitanci a Makarantar Magunguna ta Feinberg ta Jami'ar Arewa maso yamma kuma Farfesa na Injiniya da Kimiyyar Halittu, Injiniya na Biomedical, Kimiyyar Material da Injiniya a Makarantar Injiniya ta McCormick.
Yana daya daga cikin 'yan tsirarun mutane da aka zaba zuwa rassa uku na Cibiyar Kimiyya ta Kasa - Cibiyar Nazarin Kimiyya ta Kasa, Cibiyar Harkokin Injiniya ta Kasa da Cibiyar Nazarin Magunguna ta Kasa. Mirkin kuma memba ne na Kwalejin Fasaha da Kimiyya ta Amurka. An san gudunmawar Mirkin tare da kyaututtuka sama da 240 na ƙasa da ƙasa.
