Cibiyar Injiniya da Fasaha (IET) a yau (20 ga Oktoba) ta ba Farfesa A. Mirkin na Jami'ar Northwestern Chad lambar yabo ta Faraday ta 2022.
Lambar Faraday tana ɗaya daga cikin kyaututtuka mafi daraja ga injiniyoyi da masana kimiyya, kuma ita ce babbar kyautar IET da ake bayarwa ga nasarorin kimiyya ko masana'antu masu ban mamaki. A cewar sanarwar hukuma, an karrama Mirkin saboda "ƙirƙira da haɓaka kayan aiki, hanyoyi, da kayan aiki da yawa waɗanda suka ayyana zamanin zamani na fasahar nano."
"Lokacin da mutane ke magana game da manyan shugabanni a duniya a fannin bincike tsakanin fannoni daban-daban, Chad Mirkin ya fi kowa, kuma nasarorin da ya samu sun tsara fagen," in ji Milan Mrksic, mataimakin shugaban bincike a Jami'ar Northwestern. "Chad fitaccen mutum ne a fannin fasahar nanotechnology, kuma saboda kyawawan dalilai. Sha'awarsa, son sani da baiwarsa sun sadaukar da kai wajen magance manyan kalubale da kuma inganta kirkire-kirkire masu inganci. Nasarorin da ya samu a fannin kimiyya da kasuwanci sun samar da fasahohi iri-iri, kuma yana jagorantar al'umma mai hazaka a Cibiyar Fasaha ta Duniya ta Nanotechnology. Wannan sabuwar lambar yabo ta cancanci yabo ga shugabancinsa a Jami'ar Northwestern da kuma a fannin fasahar nanotechnology."
An san Mirkin sosai saboda ƙirƙirar ƙwayoyin halitta masu siffar ƙwallo (SNA) da kuma haɓaka tsarin bincike da magani na halittu da sinadarai da dabarun haɗa kayan da aka gina a kansu.
SNAs na iya shiga cikin ƙwayoyin halitta da kyallen jikin ɗan adam ta hanyar halitta kuma su shawo kan shingayen halittu waɗanda tsarin gargajiya ba zai iya ba, suna ba da damar gano kwayoyin halitta ko magance cututtuka ba tare da shafar ƙwayoyin lafiya ba. Sun zama tushen samfuran kasuwanci sama da 1,800 da ake amfani da su a cikin binciken likita, magani, da binciken kimiyyar rayuwa.
Mirkin kuma jagora ne a fannin gano kayan da aka yi amfani da su ta hanyar fasahar AI, wanda ya ƙunshi amfani da dabarun haɗa kayan aiki masu inganci tare da koyon injina da kuma manyan bayanai masu inganci daga manyan ɗakunan karatu na miliyoyin ƙwayoyin nanoparticles masu matsayi. - Gano da kimanta sabbin kayan aiki cikin sauri don amfani a masana'antu kamar magunguna, makamashi mai tsabta, catalysis, da sauransu.
An kuma san Mirkin da ƙirƙiro alkalami mai siffar alkalami, wanda National Geographic ta sanya masa suna ɗaya daga cikin "Gano Kimiyya 100 da suka Canza Duniya", da kuma HARP (High Area Rapid Printing), wani tsari na bugawa na 3D wanda zai iya samar da sassa masu tauri, roba, ko na yumbu. Tare da ƙarfin rikodin. Shi ne wanda ya kafa kamfanoni da dama, ciki har da TERA-print, Azul 3D da Holden Pharma, waɗanda suka himmatu wajen kawo ci gaba a fannin fasahar nanotechnology zuwa kimiyyar rayuwa, maganin halittu da kuma masana'antun zamani.
"Abin mamaki ne," in ji Milkin. "Mutanen da suka yi nasara a baya sun ƙunshi waɗanda suka canza duniya ta hanyar kimiyya da fasaha. Idan na waiwayi waɗanda suka karɓi abubuwan da suka gabata, waɗanda suka gano electron, mutumin farko da ya raba atom, wanda ya ƙirƙira kwamfuta ta farko, labari ne mai ban mamaki, abin alfahari ne, kuma a bayyane yake ina matukar farin cikin kasancewa cikinta."
Lambar Faraday wani ɓangare ne na jerin lambobin yabo na IET Medal of Achievement kuma an sanya mata suna ne bayan Michael Faraday, uban electromagnetism, fitaccen mai ƙirƙira, masanin sinadarai, injiniya kuma masanin kimiyya. Har ma a yau, ana amfani da ƙa'idodinsa na watsa wutar lantarki sosai a cikin injunan lantarki da janareto.
Wannan lambar yabo, wacce aka fara bayar da ita shekaru 100 da suka gabata ga Oliver Heaviside, wanda aka san shi da ka'idarsa ta layukan watsawa, tana ɗaya daga cikin tsoffin lambobin yabo da har yanzu ake bayarwa. Mirkin tare da fitattun mutane da suka haɗa da Charles Parsons (1923), wanda ya ƙirƙiro injin tururin zamani, JJ Thomson, wanda aka yaba masa don gano electron a 1925, Ernes T. Rutherford, wanda ya gano nucleus na atomic (1930), da Maurice Wilks, an yaba masa da taimakawa wajen tsara da gina kwamfutar lantarki ta farko (1981).
"Duk waɗanda suka lashe kyautarmu a yau ƙwararru ne masu kirkire-kirkire waɗanda suka yi tasiri a duniyar da muke rayuwa a ciki," in ji Shugaban IET Bob Cryan a cikin wata sanarwa. "Dalibai da masu fasaha suna da ban mamaki, sun sami babban nasara a ayyukansu kuma sun zaburar da waɗanda ke kewaye da su. Ya kamata su yi alfahari da nasarorin da suka samu - su ne abin koyi mai ban mamaki ga tsara mai zuwa."
Mirkin, Farfesa George B. Rathman na Kimiyyar Sinadarai a Kwalejin Fasaha da Kimiyya ta Weinberg, ya kasance muhimmin karfi wajen bayyanar Arewa maso Yamma a matsayin jagora a fannin kimiyyar nano a duniya kuma wanda ya kafa Cibiyar Fasaha ta Duniya (IIN) ta Arewa maso Yamma. Mirkin kuma Farfesa ne na Magunguna a Makarantar Magunguna ta Feinberg ta Jami'ar Northwestern kuma Farfesa ne na Injiniyan Sinadarai da Halittu, Injiniyan Biomedical, Kimiyyar Kayan Aiki da Injiniya a Makarantar Injiniya ta McCormick.
Yana ɗaya daga cikin mutane kalilan da aka zaɓa a sassa uku na Kwalejin Kimiyya ta Ƙasa - Kwalejin Kimiyya ta Ƙasa, Kwalejin Injiniya ta Ƙasa da Kwalejin Magunguna ta Ƙasa. Mirkin kuma memba ne na Kwalejin Fasaha da Kimiyya ta Amurka. An yaba da gudummawar Mirkin tare da kyaututtuka sama da 240 na ƙasa da na duniya.
