Andrea Martin Armani is the Ray Irani Chair in Engineering and Materials Science and professor of chemical engineering and materials science at the

World Economic Forum Young Global Leader
.

Early life and education

Armani is from

Caltech.[4] Her advisors were Scott E. Fraser and Richard Flagan.[1] While there she worked on single-molecule detection, using a silica surface that is functionalised to bind a target molecule.[5][6]

Career and research

Armani is interested in nonlinear materials and integrated optical devices, which are used in everything from diagnostics to telecommunications.[7] When she was offered her position at University of Southern California, she delivered a hand-written acceptance letter to Yannis C. Yortsos.[8] She is director of the W. M. Keck Photonics Cleanroom and John D. O’Brien Nanofabrication Laboratory.[7] From 2010 to 2017, she was the Fluor Early Career Chair of Engineering, and in 2017, she was appointed the Ray Irani Chair in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science.[9] She has appointments in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Chemistry.

Her research group is highly interdisciplinary, working from the fundamentals of material discovery and optics to applications in integrated optics and diagnostics. She used gold nanoparticles to create low power

porcine tissue.[20][21]

Armani is interested in using optical devices for epigenetic investigations, and has developed a label-free sensor that can detect and quantify DNA methylation.[22] The sensor incorporates a rare-earth element optical cavity to form a nanolaser.[22] The heterodyned nanolaser sensors can be used to diagnose ovarian cancer as they are sensitive to RASSF1A and BRCA1 promoters.[22] They compliment their experimental work with finite element method and finite-difference time-domain method modelling.[3] In 2018 she announced a portable malaria screening device that can be used for rapid screening.[23][24] The device uses a 633 nm laser to study hemozoin, a magnetic insoluble nanocrystal that forms when heme aggregates.[23] The hemozoin nanoparticles strongly scatter light and can be moved using a magnet, which allows them to be identified by monitoring the intensity of light that passes through a sample.[23]

Her lab group are not only involved with research, but actively engaged with the community, running engineering festivals, lab parties and sports days.

Optica at USC.[4] She spent 2015 on sabbatical as a Northrop Grumman faculty fellow.[4]

Awards and honors

Armani is a Fellow of the

Optica.[8]
