Lyons Laboratory
College of Staten Island - City University of New York
The Lyons Lab develops novel methods for fabricating nanotextured surfaces with hierarchical roughness and studies the effects of surface morphology and chemical functionality on optical, catalytic, mechanical and wetting behavior. Major projects underway include:
Hasanuwan Ihalagedara spoke at the ACS Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting
