Carson J. Bruns (Born October 3, 1985) is an American scientist, nanotechnologist,[2][3] and inventor.[4] He is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado.[5][1][6] Bruns is known for his work on molecular machinery and smart tattoos.[7][8][9][10] He is the director of the Laboratory for Emergent Nanomaterials.[11]
Early life and education edit
Bruns was born in Aurora, Colorado. He grew up in Loveland and attended Loveland High School. Bruns studied chemistry and mathematics at the Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2008. In 2013, he got his PhD in Organic Chemistry from Northwestern University[a] in Evanston, Illinois. Bruns worked for three years as a fellow at UC Berkley's Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science.[12]
Career edit
Bruns began his career as a Miller Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley from 2014 to 2017,[13] where he worked with Matthew Francis. In 2017, he began his current position as Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the ATLAS Institute at University of Colorado Boulder.
Molecular nanomachines edit
Bruns is a co-author on the 2016 textbook The Nature of the Mechanical Bond: From Molecules to Machines with Fraser Stoddart, who won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the design and synthesis of molecular machines. His PhD work with Stoddart involved the development of molecular muscles based on rotaxanes as molecular machines.[14] Since joining the faculty in Boulder, Bruns has investigated molecular machinery based on polyrotaxanes and carbon nanorings.[15]
Smart tattoos edit
Bruns claims the first demonstrated example of an intradermal smart tattoo ink of his own invention. In addition to UV-sensing smart tattoos, Bruns and co-workers have demonstrated a proof of concept for intradermal smart tattoos capable of gamma dosimetry. Bruns and his team at the University of Colorado, Boulder have developed a new type of tattoo ink that reacts to UV light.[7][8][9][10] Bruns co-founded HYPRSKN,[16] a startup commercializing Magic Ink, the first re-writable tattoo pigment. He is also the company's chief science officer.[17]
Awards and research grants edit
In April 2023, Bruns won the National Science Foundation's CAREER Award for his research on "smart tattoos", a new type of tattoos that uses nanotechnology to improve health, and specifically make it easier for people to spot and prevent emerging skin problems.[16]
