Chemical Biology/Nanoscience & Materials Chemistry/Organic Chemistry/Polymer Chemistry

We build multicomponent nanomaterials by self-assembly of organic and inorganic nano-parts, and then look to apply these assembled nanoparticles to problems in biotechnology and materials science. One potential application we are exploring is protein and DNA tagging, where the nanoparticle acts as a support and an optical tag for the biomolecule. Another interest is using nanorods to direct anisotropic materials--materials that exhibit different properties in different directions.
