| Research Interests |
| Research in the Sailor group involves the chemistry, electrochemistry, and photophysics of nanophase semiconductors, with emphasis on photonic crystals, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, molecular sensors, and biomaterials. Our research focuses on applications in medical diagnostics, drug delivery, cancer treatment, high-throughput screening, and low-power sensing of environmental toxins, pollutants, and chemical or biological warfare agents. |
