  Hg based tunnel junctions in electrochemical environment, with the hopes of developing new experimental strategies for the electrical detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. The publication "Electron Tunneling through Monolayers of α,ω-thioalkanoic acids in Hg-Hg Electrochemical Tunnel Junctions in Water" was written and published after I graduated, but was based on experiments I helped conduct.
