Research Area
FUNDAMENTAL ELECTROCHEMISTRY
Electrochemical responses are governed by electron transfer kinetics and solution-phase mass transport. The understanding of these processes facilitate the development of energy storage devices and sensors. In our laboratory, we investigate the mass transport (diffusion, migration and convection) of redox species to micro- and nano-scale electrodes by both simulation and experiment.
SENSORS
Electrochemical methods offer simple, sensitive, and selective detection of a wide range of analytes. Our research focuses on developing advanced electrochemical sensors using micro- and nano-engineered electrodes. These sensors are applied in diverse fields, including food safety, clinical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring, where rapid and reliable detection is essential.
FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS
We design and synthesize functional materials that enhance electrochemical performance by promoting selective analyte interactions, facilitating electron transfer, and improving surface stability. These materials include transition metal complexes, redox-active polymers, nanostructured metal–polymer composites, and carbon-based platforms. Our goal is to create mechanism-informed materials tailored for high-efficiency sensing, catalysis, and sustainable electrochemical applications.
