Research Interest

We are interested in the broad areas of nanoscale science and technology. The work may involve synthesizing materials such as nanoparticles or composites.  It could just as well be finding a new method of single or multiple color nanolithography or developing newer methods of organized nanoparticle arrays in two dimensions.  We are also interested in chemical locomotion and nanobiotechnology. Organizing nanoscale particles into superstructures is an area in which we are currently interested. In addition, we work on understanding the basic principles that underlie the results obtained in the laboratory.
