Engineering the Next Generation of Green Materials
Natural Product Analysis
We search for natural products as starting materials that are candidates for solving real-world problems. In particular, we are interested in plant products and in naturally occurring metals.
Metallurgical Engineering
We are interested in green-engineering the materials of the future using renewable feedstocks and low-waste production methods.
Green Energy Sequestering
Our research considers elements of the global energy crisis and how new materials and methods inspired by nature can help provide answers to these issues.

Catalysis of VOC (volatile organic compound) oxidation via Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles
It has been previously shown that titanium dioxide (TiO2) possesses catalytic capacity for the oxidation of VOC (volatile organic compound) species, making it a renewable and attractive candidate for air quality management.

Artificial Photosynthesis in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC)
Plants have a highly efficient system for sequestering solar energy into chemical forms. Our research uses extracted plant pigments to drive solar energy sequestering via dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) systems, and seeks to understand the factors that lead to photosynthetic efficiency.

Engineering Graphene-REDOX Transistors
Redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions provide the basis for electrochemical processes, and graphene has been demonstrated to be a viable renewable alternative to other materials. Here, we analyze the effect of mixtures of metallic species with graphene on the physical properties of the material.
