Nanotechnology Research
The focus of my research is on nanotechnology applied to soft and hard materials with research projects in the following areas:- Collagen materials – structure of leather and materials for medical applications
- Nanoparticles – for electrocatalysts and from phytosynthesis
- Surface reactions – in electrochemistry and catalysis
- Single molecule stretching – using scanning probe techniques
- High value products from mineral resources
- Applications of synchrotron techniques
