B.p.o.k.r. Pokroy - Nanotechnology

Author Information

Boaz Pokroy is affiliated with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Russel Berrie Nanotechnology Institute at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, located in Haifa, Israel. He has made significant contributions in the field of nanotechnology, focusing on various aspects of materials science.

Research Contributions

Boaz Pokroy has a prolific research career with numerous contributions to nanotechnology and materials science. His recent works in 2022 include studies on the mechanism of calcium carbonate polymorph selection via confinement, the increase in optical band gap of near-infrared semiconductor Lead (II) Sulfide through amino acid incorporation, and the tuning of magnetization in Manganese (II) Carbonate by intracrystalline amino acids. Additionally, he has researched the adsorption of SARS CoV-2 spike proteins on various surfaces, which correlates with the infectivity and transmissibility of Delta and Omicron variants. His work also extends to biomineralization, as demonstrated by his study on high-Mg calcite nanoparticles within a low-Mg calcite matrix. In 2021, his research explored coral skeletal properties in response to CO2 vents and the fabrication of Nanocellulose-Mycelium hybrid materials. His contributions have significantly advanced our understanding of materials in both biological and synthetic contexts.
