Analytical Applications of Nanoparticles
Our research program focuses on developing new methods that allow us to make analytical measurements that were previously not possible. By doing so, we gather new information about chemical and biochemical systems. One aspect of this work is the development of new analytical approaches based on nanoparticles that can selectively and sensitively detect toxins in natural waters.
