Welcome to the nanomaterials & imaging lab.

We investigate and develop the next generation of high-performance nanomaterials. Such materials will be low-cost to produce, yet very versatile and multi-functional. Currently, our high-priority research areas are graphene-based nanomaterials, molecular self-assembly, and the physical interactions of biomolecules. Our main experimental tools are the scanning probe techniques.
