Professional Background
University of Michigan (Postdoc.); Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Postdoc.); Advanced Technology Materials Inc. (Analytical Chemist); Duke University (Sr. Research Scientist)

Research Interests
My research activities and interests are in the interdisciplinary areas of analytical chemistry, molecular biology, and nanotechnology. The focus of my research program is aimed at developing novel plasmonic nanoscale materials and new sensing strategies (nanoplasmonic colorimetry, surface-enhanced spectroscopies), which can be exploited in environmental monitoring, forensic investigation, and biomedical diagnostics.
