SERS is a nanostructred based analytical technique which is widely used for fundamental research and practical applications. SERS technique can detect ultra-low concentration of target molecules due to electromagnetic enhancement and chemical enhancement. We are trying to extend the applications of SERS in both fundamental and practical research
Nanomaterials for SERS
We are focusing on the developments of novel plasmonic nanomaterials for SERS technique. The major objectives of nanomaterials development include uniform, reproducible nanostructures for reliable SERS measurements.
Microfluidics
Microfluidics is a fascinating engineering field in which micrometer sized channels are used to manipulate a tiny amount of fluids. We are developing novel microfluidic devices for SERS applications.
SERS for Sensing
SERS can be used for food analysis, environmental analysis, biological analysis, forensic analysis, and chemical analysis. We are working towards SERS applications in food and bioanalysis.
