Our research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of nanostructures and their broad range of applications in biomedical science and engineering and energy. We have authored or coauthored over 100 publications in applications of spectroscopy, nanotechnology, energy and sensing explosives and biochemicals of clinical relevance. Our work has received over 1000 citations over the years.
Biomedical Chemotherapeutic agents: New chemotherapy agents selective to cancer cells have been patented through work in our laboratory. These new agents have adequate size and selectivity to work in primary and metastatic cancers. The nanotechnology developed by us has been tested with cancer and normal fibroblasts. The results indicate that our nanotechnology limits the growth and survival rate of cancer cells but has no effect on normal fibroblasts.
Nanostructures to repair brain and cardiovascular damage.
Biomedical Sensors: Environmentally friendly sensor elements are developed for selective detection of cardiac and ischemic stroke biomarkers and HIV virus troponisms.
Energy: New nanoscaled structures for high efficient solar to electrical energy conversion are developed. These new structures trap solar energy into electric field and relay on inductive effect to transmit. These new elements have also limited geometries and few phonon modes to limit electron-phonon dispersion processes.
