Research Interests 

1. Characterization of the properties and structure of Modified Interfaces. Some of our current research projects include:

• Preparation of Solid-state Analytical Devices using Ionically Self-Assembled Monolayers.
• Use of Multilayered Nanoclusters as In Situ probes.
• Preparation and surface modification of Monolayer protected gold and silver nanoclusters.

2. Electrochemical Detection in Capillary Column liquid Chromatography. Current projects include:

• In-line separation with electrochemical detection of microdialysis dialysilate.
• Carbon Fiber electrode modification for selective detection of catecholamines.
