Profile
As the dimensions of materials are reduced to the nanoscale regime, the properties begin to differ from that of bulk and this often yields surprising results.
Research interests
My research group focuses on the development of advanced nanomaterials and translating these towards biomedical applications. By understanding the fundamental physics behind the materials we synthesize we strive to make leaps forward in the fields of Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine.
