Lajos Peter Balogh (born January 15, 1950), mainly referred to as Lou Balogh, is a Hungarian-American scientist known for his research on polymers, dendrimer nanocomposites, and nanomedicine. Balogh is the editor-in-chief of Precision Nanomedicine (PRNANO). He is also on the World’s Top 2% Scientists list based on career-long citation numbers.[1][2]
Early life and education
editBalogh was born on January 15, 1950, in Komádi, Hajdú-Bihar County, Hungary. He studied chemistry at the Debreceni Vegyipari Technikum and the Kossuth Lajos University from 1969 to 1974, earning his Ph.D. in 1983. In 1991, Balogh received an invitation from the University of Massachusetts Lowell and moved to the United States.
Career
editBalogh joined UMass Lowell as a visiting professor in 1991. In 1996, he left for the Michigan Molecular Institute to research dendrimers, where he was a senior associate scientist. From 1998 to 2018, Balogh worked as a professor for several universities, including the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, the University at Buffalo, and the Roswell Park Center Institute. He also taught as a visiting professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Seoul National University, and the Semmelweis University.[3]
Balogh is a board member of several organizations, including the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO on Nanotechnology since 2005 and co-founder of the American Society for Nanomedicine (2008). Since 2011, he has been a board member of the Scientific Committee of the CLINAM Summits and numerous International Steering Committees.[4]
Between 2008 and 2016, Balogh, as editor-in-chief, took an upstart scientific journal (Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology, and Medicine, Elsevier) from 5 editors and no journal impact factor to 20 editors and JIF2014 =6.9, (5-year JIF=7.5). He increased the journal's readership to over 480,000 downloads per year. In 2017, Balogh initiated Manuscript Clinic, a platform that helped scientists and students publish their research results in nanomedicine and nanotechnology and promoted both nanoscience and scientific writing. In 2018, he founded Andover House, Inc., a not-for-profit online publishing company, and launched Precision Nanomedicine (PRNANO). He serves as the editor-in-chief of this scientists-owned, fully open-access professional journal. PRNANO has been designated the official journal of the International Society for Nanomedicine and CLINAM, the European Society for Clinical Nanomedicine (Basel, Switzerland).[5]
Personal
editBalogh is married to Éva Kovács Balogh, a Hungarian American linguist with two children. Peter Balogh was the crew chief of the University of Michigan Solar car team's Momentum, which won first place at the North American Solar Challenge in 2005. Aki Balogh is the President of Marketmuse and a co-founder of DLC.link.
Research work
editBalogh is considered an international expert in Nanomedicine and scholarly publications. He published 228 scientific papers, gave over 230 invited lectures, and was awarded 12 patents in chemistry, physics, nanotechnology, and nanomedicine. His publications have been cited over 9500 times (22 papers with more than 100 citations, 11 with more than 200 citations, and 2 cited over 1000 times; h-index=42). Balogh has been listed as belonging to the World's top 2% of Scientists.[6]
Achievements
editBalogh is one of the five founders of the American Society for Nanomedicine. He serves on the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO TC 229 Nanotechnology and on the Board of several international and U.S. national organizations. Some recent awards include a visiting professorship for Senior International Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, a KOFST Fellowship at Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, and a Fulbright Teaching Scholarship at Semmelweis University. Balogh is also on the World’s Top 2% Scientists list based on career-long citation numbers.
