What I do ?
I do multidisciplinary research involving both theoretical and experimental study of miniaturized electrochemical systems. This includes programmable "Lab on a Chip" devices to miniaturized autonomous microscale CMOS electronic devices. The key idea is to develop programmable electronic-chemical systems.
This research is based on four collaborative EU-FET projects,
[1] ECCell [Link]
[2] MATCHIT [Link]
[3] CADMAD [Link]
[4] MICREAgents [Link]
My various contributions are shown in the diagram below.
