About

I am a materials scientist with a background in chemical engineering, specializing in the design, synthesis, and characterization of plasmonic nanoparticles, fluorescent quantum dots, and related inorganic and carbon‑based nanomaterials. My research integrates nanoscale materials engineering with applications in energy conversion, catalysis, environmental remediation, and biomedicine. Over the past 12 years, my work has been supported by competitive funding from the NSF, DOE, the W. M. Keck Foundation, SRIC/ISIRD, and USKRC. It has involved interdisciplinary collaborations across international research teams. I am committed to building a rigorous and impactful academic research program grounded in innovation, mentorship, and scientific integrity.

My work spans a broad suite of characterization techniques, including UV‑Vis, FTIR, Raman, NMR, fluorescence spectroscopy, EPR, DLS, XRD, TGA, TEM, SEM, and electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy.
