My research interests focus on the use of organic materials in sensors and actuators,
particularly polymer MEMS and bioMEMS. Continuing our work on cell-based sensing, we have recently begun a significant effort in odor identification (an e-nose). Further information about our work can
be found in the Publications and Research pages of this site.
