Professor Edward Van Keuren
Edward Van Keuren, Associate Professor of Physics at Georgetown University, has found himself in the middle of groundbreaking research in two vital industries: energy and medicine.
“I guess I got to the right places at the right times,” Van Keuren said of his involvement with both of these important fields.
Van Keuren’s knack for perfect timing and his affinity for all things physics have served the Georgetown community well. Since coming to Georgetown in 1999, Van Keuren has published more than 20 articles in science journals, a body of work that is bursting with physics and optical research. His research with a solar energy company will examine materials for developing organic solar cells, and in collaboration with the Lombardi Cancer Center, Van Keuren is conducting research that will develop nanoparticles for cancer diagnosis.
