RESEARCH INTERESTS
Applying micro/nanotechnology and engineering methods to life science and health care applications. Specific areas of interest in applied research:
- Point of care diagnostics in resource limited settings, identifying the needs of the community and developing relevant highly sensitive detection methodologies for “real world” deployment.
- Titanium-oxide nanotubes for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detection for disease diagnosis
- Resistive Pulse Sensing for electronic diagnosis of diseases (multi-species malaria detection)
- Microtechnology for stem cell analysis (i.e. label-free biomarker screening and cell sorting)
Additional Areas of Interest:
- Energy generation using nanomaterials and microfluidics
- Soilid-State radiation detection
