His research focuses on surface chemistry and specifically, the role of interfacial phenomena in (i) the deposition of , nanostructured materials and (ii) the environmental fate and impact of carbon based nanomaterials in aquatic environments.

The projects in this group all involve the control
and understanding of material properties on nanometer length scales.
Some of us develop new chemical approaches to forming uniform
nanocrystals and highly ordered porous solids. Others focus on using
these materials as tools for answering fundamental questions about
nature, such as the characteristic length scales in glasses and
liquids. Finally, all of our materials research may impact emerging
technologies in areas as diverse as bioinformatics and photonics. We
are committed to exploring these exciting directions and identifying
the underlying scientific issues which will be central to their
eventual success.
