The research in our group is organized around three main projects. These include:
1) nanoscale materials and devices, 2) biological surfaces and interfaces and 3) nanotribology . The general theme of the work in my group is the development of custom engineered surfaces and interfaces. Much of this work involves the development of a fundamental (molecular level) understanding of the underlying chemistry and physics of the systems in question to afford rational approaches for improving current and developing new technologies.
