We work at the interface of organic, physical, and material chemistry.

We design and synthesize multi-facet sensors that are capable of detecting trace chemicals and clinical signals useful for point of care diagnostics presented in paper, contact lens, and optical coatings, and will provide the foundation for a wide range of new types of chemical sensing materials.

A typical research project involves fundamental polymer and analytical chemistry.

Our current research interest lies

- Multi-functional Contact lens diagnosing disease and/or eluting drugs

- Paper based microfluidic sensors

- Metal nanocomposites for application in sensing, imaging and catalysis

- Optical coating materials with various properties
