Expertise
Polymer nanomaterials, Nanoscale transport, Biological impacts of nanomaterials (bacteria)

Instrumentation
SEM/EDS, QCM-R, 3D printers ( including bioprinter), AFM, Coulter counter, Nanoparticle deposition system

Background & Research Interest
My research interests focus on the genetic, proteomic and phenotypic responses of biofilms ( and bacteria) to nano-sized materials. I am particularly interested in how size/shape differences in these materials affect bacterial responses and in turn related factors such as construction of the biofilm and transport through the matrix.
