Why Dal?
High-calibre research within a university that has a great small-school and community feel.
What inspires me
I'm using electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques to study the adsorption behavior of proteins on metal electrodes. This will allow us to optimize current electrochemical biosensor platforms by gaining a better understanding of the fundamental processes that occur at the electrode surface. With this knowledge we'll be able to detect and ultimately treat diseases in a more expedient fashion.
