Fisher became the chair of mechanical and aerospace engineering department at University of California, Los Angeles, starting July 1, 2018.
[2] His own, individual academic work concentrates on nanoscale energy transport and conversion, synthesis of nanomaterials, cooling of microelectronics and microfluids.
before we can even think about using nanotubes in electronics, we have to learn how to put them where we want them.”[3] Fisher was a member of the Purdue University engineering research team which developed a biosensor for detecting blood glucose and other biological molecules using hollow structures called single-wall carbon nanotubes anchored to gold-coated "nanocubes."
A nanotube anchors each tetherball to electronic circuitry which acts as both a tether and ultrathin wire to conduct electrical signals.
[4] Fisher joined the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at Cornell University, and through that organization, the Irving Literary Society.
