Research Interests:

We are broadly interested in the interfacial area of nanomaterials, supramolecular chemistry and organic synthesis. Our research involves synthesis of nano and organic materials, towards applications in delivery devices, catalysis and sensing among others.

Current research projects focus on:

• Synthesis and functionalization of polymeric nanostructures, in particular nanocapsules
• Ligand effects in the synthesis and dynamics of metallic and bimetallic nanoparticles
• Synthesis and functionalization of anisotropic nanoparticles
• Nanocatalysis
