Our research interests are in the interdisciplinary areas of materials, analytical, electrochemistry, catalysis, and emerging nanotechnology fields. The overall direction is the design, fabrication, characterization, and application of novel nanostructured materials, miniaturization strategies and tools for solving real-world problems in chemical/biological sensors, catalysis, micro/nano-electronics, energy, and biomedical devices. Our current research explores both fundamental and applied aspects in this general direction. The most recent projects explore molecularly-engineered nanomaterials with novel sensing, catalytic, optical, magnetic, and electronic functions, and probe the mechanistic details of chemistry and biochemistry at surfaces and interfaces.
