BIOMEDICAL MICRODEVICES AND NANOTECHNOLOGY LABORATORY
The goal of the project was the development of nano-forest, vertically aligned, iridium oxide nanowire based microelectronic biosensors towards designing ultra sensitive electrochemical sensors for detecting allergens as well as protein biomarkers. This work was performed in conjunction with Sharp Labs, America, Camas, WA.
Design of carbon nanotubes based virus sensors Portland State University and Oregon Health and Sciences University, Portland, OR
Adding functionality to vertically aligned carbon nanotubes integrated into microelectronic platforms towards designing ultrasensitive biosensors. The tips of the carbon nanotubes are surface functionalized to bind viruses through the proteins expressed by the viruses. The binding of viruses resulted in changes to the mechanical and electrical properties of the carbon nanotubes potentially resulting in single virus detection.
Optodes-chemical iuntracellular sensors Arizona State Universitty, Tempe, AZ & Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR
Organic /inorganic nanoparticle hybrids which are ion sensitive have been engineered to detect ion concentrations and intra cellular transients.
Manipulating cells using holographic optical tweezers Oregon State University , Corvallis, OR
Designing platforms for update of optode sensors and cell manipulation using directed laser light.
Sensors for mercury detection from fish Dahl Natural LLC, Independence, OR
Electrochemical sensors based on nanoporous material and carbon nanotube composites were designed for detecting mercury from fish and its associated water samples.
Trace monitoring of NOx and sulfur compounds at room temperatures using nanocomposites Portland State University , Portland, OR & Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR
Inter digitated gold micro platforms were integrated with highly specific polymer -carbon nanocomposite towards designing trace gas sensors. By changing the composition of the composites high temperature sensors were designed.
High temperature oxygen monitoring from nanocomposites Pacific Northwest National Labs, Richland, WA
Using doped cerium oxide high temperature chemi resistive oxygen sensors were designed. The composition for the active sensing area were engineered to optimize the sensor.
