Thomas Porter

This researcher develops nanoscale sensor technologies, particularly near-infrared fluorescent nanosensors built from carbon nanotubes and quantum dots, to detect and measure biological molecules in real time. Much of the recent work applies these tools inside living plants to track hormones (like auxin and gibberellins) and stress-signaling molecules (like hydrogen peroxide) as they respond to wounding or mechanical stress. Earlier work also explored quantum dot biosensing platforms and their safety/toxicity for use in biological systems.

Publication output was minimal before 2019, then became active with a fairly steady pace of about 2-3 papers per year, rising to a peak of 5 in 2024.
