Research and Scholarly Achievements

My research interests are focused on several areas including Development of Chemical and Biological Sensors, Nanomaterials-based Electronic DNA and Protein Detection for possible applications in Biomedical Diagnostics, Environmental monitoring or Industrial process control. Another direction of my research is towards the development of miniaturized separation devices, particularly micro-machined microchip for rapid, economic, on-site detection of chemical and biological warfare agents.
