Design nanomaterials for bioimaging

Bioimaging

We work on understanding the mechanism of doped atoms to enhance the emssion intensity and stability of graphene nanoflakes and silicon nanoparticles as well as molecular transition-metal complexes used for bioimaging. The other project centers on using these materials for biosensing.
