LABORATORY FOR SMART ELECTRONICS & NANOSENSOR
WHAT WE DO
Our group develops advanced sensor platforms based on nanostructured semiconducting materials for sensitive and selective chemical detection.
We focus on engineering material interfaces and surface activity to optimize sensing performance. Our research spans the design of novel active layers and catalytic materials, as well as fundamental investigations into sensing mechanisms. Bridging materials science, chemistry, and chemical engineering, our interdisciplinary approach enables new insights and innovations across environmental, biomedical, and industrial applications.
