Professor Hurt's research spans carbon nanomaterials, nanotoxicology, self-assembly and interfacial phenomena, and heterogeneous combustion. Prof. Hurt manages the Laboratory for Innovation in Nanostructured Carbon, which fabricates carbon nanomaterials through unique supramolecular routes, and tailors their surface chemistry for biological and environmental applications. A major current focus is the study of nanomaterial/cell interactions carried out in collaboration with Prof. Agnes Kane in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.

Professor Hurt received his Ph.D. from M.I.T. in 1987 and before joining Brown held positions in the Central Research and Development Division of Bayer AG in Leverkusen, Germany, and at the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California. During 2002 he was a visiting professor at the University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He currently serves as Editor of the materials science journal CARBON, and is on the editorial board of Combustion and Flame. He served as Technical Program Chair for the international conference, Carbon2004, and in the same year received the Graffin Lecture Award of the American Carbon Society, which included a North American lecture series on carbon nanomaterials given during 2004 and 2005. Prof. Hurt also received the Silver Medal of the Combustion Institute in Naples, Italy in 1996 and an NSF CAREER Award in the same year. He currently serves as the Director of Brown's Institute for Molecular and Nanoscale Innovation.
