George Karniadakis

I foresee myself working as a group leader, directing research oriented towards practical healthcare solu- tions. My research experience in multidrug transporters strongly motivates me to develop new technolo- gies to improve the accuracy of medical diagnosis and the effectiveness of medical treatments. Since I am convinced that scientific findings should have a social impact, my research will be oriented to benefit people by life-enhancing applications.
