Welcome to the Nanoscale Engineered Materials Laboratory (NEMLab) research group
Embedded Files
The Nanoscale Engineered Materials Laboratory (NEMLab) research group is focused on understanding the behavior and assembly of functionalized nanoscale materials, with an emphasis on magnetic nanoparticles, and translating this knowledge onto practical macroscale engineering applications. Currently, NEMLab work is focusing on the encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticles using biocompatible and electrically responsive polymers for drug delivery applications, the preparation of disinfectant nanomaterials for the elimination of Listeria monocytogenes and the fabrication of magnetic gels for removing toxins and pollutants from water. Dr. Vasquez collaborates with several researchers and faculty at UD and across the U.S.
Dr. Erick S. Vasquez, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Dayton, leads the group.
