Research Interests
1. Rapid & accessible diagnostics
- Seek to develop nucleic acid-based, rapid diagnostics that can be readily available and distributed at low-cost
2. Stimuli-responsive hybrid materials
- Aim to design, develop, and synthesize stimuli-responsive materials
- May incorporate nanoparticles, polymers, small molecules, etc.
3. Development of novel biosensors
- Incorporate nucleic acid-based technology (e.g., DNA nanotechnology) to create novel types of biosensors
