Research
My research is focused on nanofluidic phenomena in nanotubes which are relevant for sensing and energy storage applications. Specifically, the transport of small versus bulky ions and the translocation of single molecules through narrow carbon nanotube channels that approach molecular dimensions. I am also interested in the development and fabrication of the nanofluidic devices which are used.
