Project #2: Nanomaterials for Biosensing
Project #2: Nanomaterials for Biosensing
We are interested in both surface-based and colloid-based sensors. Sensing chips take advantage of the surface environment control we have, while functional colloidal materials rely on the unique green chemistry preparation developed in the group.

Substrates with delicate surface environment control can be used for many special analytical chemistry applications. Furthermore, we are also interested in portable devices due to their ease of operation and on-site detection properties. We work on both optical and electrical devices.
