This researcher works on engineered nanomaterials for biomedical and antimicrobial applications, particularly gold nanoparticles that use light (photothermal effects) to destroy bacterial biofilms, and studies how proteins interact with nanoparticle surfaces ('protein coronas') to control drug delivery. The work also includes methods development for nanopore-based sensing and data analysis tools used in molecular detection. Overall the research bridges materials chemistry, nanotechnology, and biology, aiming toward applications in targeted therapy and infection treatment.
Publication output began around 2021, rose to a peak in 2023, and has continued at a fairly steady pace of about 4-5 outputs per year through 2025-2026.
