Research Interest
Biosensors and Bioinstrumentation: This includes physical, chemical and biological sensing systems (macro and micro) for application in health (protein markers of diseases, bacteria, viruses, etc.), water quality (organic and inorganic contaminants) and environmental monitoring. In particular optical fiber and optical waveguide based systems, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy based systems are the focal points of research in the lab.
Cardiac Electrophysiology: The electrochemical events leading to and happening during acute myocardial ischemia and infarction: Molecular and electrical markers.
