WHAT WE DO

We will establish a robust, externally funded research group to support innovation in the design and development of chemical and biological sensors using nanostructured electronic and photonic materials. This defense-related effort will be carried out in the College of Engineering and Chemical Engineering department in collaboration with UML's various technology centers.

Our research is at the intersection of nanotechnology, biotechnology and green engineering/chemistry with considerable spillover in the area of regulatory/safety policy. This has enabled us to reach out to the local community and raise awareness about sustainability and environmentally responsible behavior (and understand our own blind spots). We proactively engage the community in the form of outreach to local high schools and other institutions and have developed meaningful research projects for graduate, undergraduate, and high school students Importantly, we hope to instill in these students, empowering values and beliefs on sustainability that would result in a meaningful and measurable long term change in behavior.
