A core objective of my research program is to understand the mechanism of the transduction of chemical information at interfaces and to use this knowledge in the pursuit of innovative sensors. A sensor is a device that responds to physical, chemical or biological quantity, and converts that quantity into a signal or an output . . .
Sustainable nanotechnology relates to the research and development of nanomaterials that have economic and societal benefits, while at the same time, minimizing adverse environmental impacts. The demand for eco-friendly synthetic methods of metal nanoparticles is on the increase . . .
For the last decade, we have engineered Poly(amic) Acid or PAA polymers (broadly defined) until they have become conductive (Publication #72,108), electroactive (Publication #76), and biodegradable (Publication # 158) by manipulating their delocalized π electron systems . . .
Our Group has extensive expertise in interfacial reaction at metal-metal surfaces using electroless plating and has specifically studied the mechanism of electroless gold, nickel, and cobalt . . .
