  • May 2007 - May 2010

  Created nanoelectromechanical (NEM) molecular layers of acid alkanethiols on Au sensor surface that has an electromechanical response to electrochemical potential by applying a bias to the metal surface using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and electrochemistry. Designed and executed experiments tethering PEG molecules onto existing carboxylate anchor layer that may serve as a linker arm for attaching CdSe quantum dots with a ZnS shell. Employed UV and Florescence spectroscopy methods to detect presence of nanoparticles and quantum dots on glass and Au substrates. Show less
