Students who have worked in my laboratory have had two significant opportunities. First, they have published a lot. Second, and of great significance, they have had the opportunity to learn many new things. Most of our work is focused on surface modification and patterning of materials like silicon, polymers, and diamond. To do these surface modifications my students learn and perform bioconjugate chemistry, as well as organic and polymer chemistry. To read more click here.
