RESEARCH MISSION

The nano-biomaterials laboratory seeks to carry out experimental and theoretical investigations into the synthesis, assembly and structure-property characterizations of advanced nano-biomaterials. In doing so, we investigate the systematic integration and/or, interactions of engineered nanomaterials with functional biomolecules and proteins with the fundamental goal of understanding bio-inspired and bio-mimetic systems that find applications in sustainable energy, energetics and environmental studies.
