Associate Professor
Materials Science and Engineering Department
North Carolina State University

Research interests

• controlled synthesis of nanostructured materials and their integration into devices with nanoscale functional elements.
• development of a wide range of applications that include microfabricated electron field emission sources, scanning probe tips, electrochemical probes, cell mimetic structures, nanofluidic arrays, gene delivery arrays
• creation of interface to life systems on the nanoscale to probe or modify functions of individual live cells the dimensions of the probing elements must be much smaller than a cell and possibly on same scale as cellular machinery.
