    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Our group investigates various nanomaterials through their unique optical signatures. The goal is to understand the structure-function relationship of these materials through their unique optical signatures and responses in a variety of matrices. Some of the types of nanomaterials systems studied include functionalized nanoparticles, “decorated” nanoparticles, and polymers embedded with nanoparticles. Compositions of these particles range from metal oxides, flourides and transition metal particles. Our fabrication techniques include wet chemical synthesis and characterization techniques focus on optical spectroscopy (absorption, fluorescence, “all optical” photoacoustic, and microscopy). Additionally, we work with collaborators to establish unique applications for these materials, particularly in the area of biophotonics

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
