研究领域

Bioanalytical and Environmental Chemistry

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 biosensing technologies, functional materials and devices. A sensor is a device that responds to physical, chemical or biological quantity, and converts that quantity into a signal or an output. The driving force behind my biosensor research is the need to build sensor systems that quantitatively measure target species in a complex system. I have developed innovative biosensors for ultrasensitive detection of Staphylococci Enterotoxin B (SEB), biofilm, DNA mismatch, pain biomarkers, oral proteins, E. coli, Bacillus globigii, chromium VI, polychlorinated biphenyls, environmental pollutants and toxic metals.
