George D. Bachand Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies Sandia National Laboratoreis Biography Publications Institution JoVE Articles George D. Bachand George Bachand is a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He earned his B.S. degree in Biology from Elizabethtown College, and Ph.D. degree in Environmental and Forest Biology from the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry.As a graduate student, Dr. Bachand developed a strong interest in environmental microbiology, with a particular focus on fungal and viral pathogens impact tree species. Upon joining Dr. Carlo Montemagno's lab at Cornell University as a research scientist, he became involved in nanotechnology where he explored the use of biomolecular motors to power hybrid, biotic/abiotic nanomaterials, devices, and systems. He then joined Sandia National Laboratories in 2001 where he continued his research on bridging the living and non-living worlds through nanoscience integration. More recently, he has leveraged his graduate background to develop an understanding of how microorganisms are able to synthesize ceramic oxide nanomaterials.
