One of the main research areas of the group is the development of point-of-care diagnostic tools focusing on nucleic acid amplification that provide robust results and versat ile applications. Specifically, we have developed isothermal self replication DNA strategies using
Nonlinear Optics
Using nonlinear optics we can the molecular structure of interfaces
Electrokinetic analysis
Using streaming potential measurements we can determine the zeta potential of the silica/water interface and how it relates to our NLO measurements.
