Areas of Interest:
Experimental and simulation studies of interfacial phenomena at the molecular scale, particularly biological interfaces. Research projects include: (a) studies of molecular-level non-fouling mechanisms and protein orientation/conformation on surfaces, (b) studies of material-tissue interfaces for implanted biomaterials and tissue engineering, (c) development of biosensors and protein array technologies for food safety monitoring and biomedical diagnostics, and (d) development of biomimetic materials that resist protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion/biofilm formation. In addition, his group continues to work on self-assembled monolayers, molecular tribology, scanning probe microscopy, and confined fluids in micropores.
Current research: focus is on biomolecular interfaces, particularly biomaterials/tissue engineering (e.g. implantable materials and anti-biofouling coatings for marine applications) and biosensors(e.g. food safety monitoring and early cancer diagnostics).
"It will be much better if I can review those papers relating to biomaterials (i.e., drug/gene delivery and tissue engineering) and biosensors (i.e., various surface-based immuno or DNA sensors or protein/DNA arrays). Several papers I have been reviweing are more related to the biochemical aspects of biosensors (not my expertise), which often greatly slow down my work." - Apr 2007
