GENERAL SESSION

Taking Science Beyond Borders: Global EHS Issues of Nanotechnology
8:00 a.m.–9:00 a.m.

Kristen Kulinowksi, PhD

Dr. Kulinowski has been actively engaged in developing and promoting the ICON, which provides a neutral forum in which experts from academia, government, industry and nonprofit organizations can explore questions of nanotechnology’s impact on the environment, health and safety. She directed an effort that resulted in the web production of the first publically available database of citations to peer-reviewed papers on nano EHS. Other ICON activities include a survey of best practices for nanomaterial handling in the workplace and a public portal of information on nanotechnology EHS.

Kulinowski has extensive experience in science education, particularly in developing innovative curricula at the undergraduate level and she developed Rice’s first introductory undergraduate course on nanotechnology. As Executive Director for Education at CBEN, she developed and managed an educational outreach portfolio of programs for audiences ranging from middle school children to adults. During this time, the center established itself as a national leader in nanotechnology educational outreach.

A highly sought after speaker on issues of nanotechnology, environmental health and safety, and science policy throughout the United States, Europe and the Middle East, Dr. Kulinowski will share her extensive knowledge and expertise with AIHce registrants.
