Current C.V.
 
 
Our interests center on the development of novel materials for bioseparations and biosensing.  Efforts in the group include synthesis of surfactant-like materials for highly sensitive purification of DNA in microchip systems, evaluating surface-diffusion methods for capture of trace analytes, and the use of atomic-force microscopy to characterize colloidal systems germane to bioseparations.
