Research

I perform AI-assisted density-functional theory simulations in order to develop atomic-level understanding of the adsorption of biomolecules, such as female sex hormones and dopamine, on carbon-based nanomaterials. Deeper understanding of the nanoscale interactions at the substrate surface facilitates developing electrochemical sensors with excellent sensitivity and selectivity.
