CURRENT RESEARCH
For my current research, I am studying the dependence of the optical properties of polyaniline nanofibers on their oxidation state. As a quasi-1D system, the reflection and absorption properties of polyaniline can change dramatically due to oxidation-reduction reactions. This effect can be used to make optical biosensors that can detect the presence and concentration of target analytes. A major goal of this research is the development of a continuous in vivo glucose monitor that could display blood sugar levels in real time.
