| | Our group is interested in novel soft nanomaterials. Current research includes the development of fabrication methods based on guided assembly, chemical, structural and functional characterization of nanopatterned materials, and their application in drug delivery, nanobioreactors and biosensors. Soft nanomaterials have tremendous potential in a broad variety of applications ranging from fundamental studies of nanofluidics and development of advanced separation technologies to fabrication of nanobioreactors and design of novel implantable biodevices. This interdisciplinary work is performed in collaboration with the U of M’s Industry/University Center for Biosurfaces (IUCB) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. |
