Research Projects
We are working on a number of challenging problems related to surfaces and interfaces, particularly chemistry and physics at the nanoscale:
- Femtosecond spectroscopy of charge transport at interfaces in organic electronics or photovoltaic.
- FTIR spectroscopy of buried interfaces in organic electronics, such as organic field-effect transistors.
- Surface control of semiconductor nanoparticles and photovoltaic from molecularly engineered nanomaterials;
- Controlling protein molecules on solid surfaces. Protein microarrays and biotechnology.
- Mechanics of molecules and biological systems under nano confinement.
Matt gave a talk on viscosity of interfacial water at the AVS International meeting in San Francisco in Nov. 06. His paper came out in Langmuir.
