Areas of Focus

My primary research lies in the area of carbon nanomaterials and their applications in biophysics. Remarkable properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene quantum dots open new perspective for their applications in drug transport and biological imaging. My particular interest is to develop a new sensor for early cancer detection, using only infrared light emission from graphene quantum dots and carbon nanotubes as an indicator of cancer-generated genes present in blood.
