Research in the field of DNA nanotechnology and Plasmonics (Nanophotonics): Constructing DNA-metal nanoparticles systems/switches/metamaterials for applications in biosensing, optics, and nanomedicine -Leading interdisciplinary (three) projects, resulting in (three) publications in high impact journals -Design, synthesis, and optical/physicochemical characterization of DNA-based nanomaterials and metallic nanostructures/nanoparticles for optoelectronic applications

Research in the field of DNA chemistry and optical nanodevices (nanophotonics): DNA-assembled metal nanoparticle systems for optical and biological applications My work at the cfaed involved primary research with design, synthesis, assembly of metal nanoparticles, quantum dots, and fluorescent nanodiamonds which were self-assembled into nanodevices. These functional self-assembled nanoparticle systems could potentially be used as optical nanodevices such as plasmonic waveguides and nanoantennas.

Research in the field of nanophotonics and near-field optical spectroscopy My research work involved experimental observation of light energy transport over gold nanoparticle-based plasmonic waveguide toward a fluorescent nanodiamond. Direct observation of nanoscale energy conversion -Managed a nanoscale energy transfer with very low losses through DNA-metal nanoparticle waveguides by electron microscopy-based optical spectroscopy -Awarded an inspire grant up to 3.5k EUR for a research stay in London

Research in the field of Biochemistry-Biomolecular interactions (DNA-encoded chemical library) My work primarily at the BCUBE involved creating a DNA encoded chemical library to discover drug candidates. -Developed a regenerable chip for high throughput protein-drug molecule kinetic assays, this work led to a publication -Binding affinities of the corresponding compounds to protein targets -Kinetic characterization of the interaction between DNAconjugated small organic compounds and protein targets by QCM

Research in the field of biosensors and device fabrication -Developed a biosensing platform that can detect bacteria and cells -Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

Joint degree Erasmus Mundus Master program with TU Dresden. Master of Science - Nanoscience and Nanotechnology specialized in Biophysics Thesis title: Impedimetric Detection of Microorganisms Using Platinum Nanowires
