I am a graduate student in the department of
Chemical and Nuclear Engineering; my academic advisor is Plamen
Atanassov, and my research advisor at Sandia National Laboratories
is Darren Branch. At Sandia, our lab is developing highly sensitive
surface acoustic wave sensors for low-level pathogen detection.
Other projects include acoustic lysing of cells and micropatterning
of proteins on sensor surfaces. I am particularly interested in the
interface between devices and relevant biological molecules such as
proteins, antibodies, etc., where there is a significant opportunity
to improve the specificity and sensitivity of biomimetic sensing
systems. |
