Area of expertise

Surface spectroscopy, Raman, photovoltaics, bioanalytical, cancer research, single-molecule detection

Research

Our research program is geared towards the understanding of surface processes and the development of surface-sensitive spectroscopic methods. We are particularly interested in the application of in situ spectroscopic probes to the characterization of electrochemical interfaces. We are also investigating the optical and spectroscopic properties of both periodic and random metallic nanostructures. Google Scholar
