Background & Research Interest
Our research interests involve the synthesis and characterization of functional nanomaterials, including stimuli-responsive hydrogels, plasmonic nanoparticles, and magnetic nanoparticles. Our goal is to use these new materials to advance technology for both point-of-care and single-molecule-based medical diagnostics. Background in hydrogel synthesis, surface chemistry, SPR, microscopy, single molecule measurements, digital ELISA, and development of medical diagnostics.
