Kenneth S. Suslick (born 1952) is the Marvin T. Schmidt Research Professor of Chemistry, Professor of Materials Science & Engineering, and Professor of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science & Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. He is the world's leading expert on the chemical and physical effects of ultrasound[1] and has received numerous awards for his work on sonochemistry and sonoluminescence. Professor Suslick has also introduced new technology in chemical sensing, specifically the use of colorimetric sensor arrays as an optoelectronic nose.[2]
Career
Ken Suslick received his B.S. from the California Institute of Technology in 1974, his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1978, and came to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign immediately thereafter. He was promoted to full professor at the age of 35, held the first William H. & Janet Lycan Professorship in Chemistry, and then in 2004 became the inaugural Marvin T. Schmidt Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois.[3]
Professor Suslick is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, the American Chemical Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Materials Research Society, the Acoustical Society of America, the American Physical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Professor Suslick has mentored more than 73 Ph.D. students and 35 postdoctoral associates. He has published more than 400 scientific papers, edited four books, and holds more than 48 patents and patent applications. His papers have been cited more than 50,200 times and his h-index is 114 (i.e., 114 papers with 114 or more citations), as of September, 2018. His six most cited papers are listed below.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
In addition to his academic research, Professor Suslick has had significant entrepreneurial experience. He was the lead consultant for Molecular Biosystems Inc. and part of the team that commercialized the first echo contrast agent for medical sonography, Albunex™,[10] which became Optison™ by GE Healthcare. In addition, he was the founding consultant for VivoRx Pharmaceuticals and helped invent and commercialize Abraxane™, albumin microspheres with a paclitaxel core, which is the predominant current delivery system for taxol chemotherapy for breast cancer; VivoRx became Abraxis Bioscience, which was acquired by Celgene for $2.9 billion. He then co-founded ChemSensing and its successor companies, iSense Systems and Specific Technologies in Mountain View, for the commercialization of the Suslick group's optoelectronic nose technology with particular focus on biomedical applications of this unique sensor technology.

Research interests
The Suslick Research Group at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign is multi-disciplinary with three major research areas: (1) the chemical and physical effects of ultrasound (which includes nano-materials synthesis and sonoluminescence); (2) the mechanochemistry of inorganic solids (including shock wave energy dissipation by MOFs, i.e., metal-organic framework solids); and (3) chemical sensing, molecular recognition, and artificial olfaction, which is a spinoff of earlier work on the bioinorganic and materials chemistry of metalloporphyrins. Of particular interest is the development of the optoelectronic nose, i.e., colorimetric sensor arrays for the detection of VOCs, toxic industrial chemicals, explosives, as well as diverse QA/QC applications for foods and beverages.[11]
Some of his recent publications include papers and reviews on sonochemistry,[12][13][14][15][16] sonoluminescence,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and chemical sensing and electronic nose technology.[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]
