Expertise
Nanocrystal synthesis, kinetics, particle formation mechanisms, NMR, and synchrotron XAFS and SAXS

Instrumentation
SEM/EDX, AFM, p-XRD, DSC, Fluorometer, CD, DLS/Zetasizer, TGA, and N2 glove box

Background & Research Interest
My group is investigating the synthesis and application of plasmonic nanocrystals as environmental sensors. My PhD was studying particle formation mechanisms, and my postdoc was researching metal oxide and ceramic nanocrystal synthesis and application.
