Research Theme

Developmental Neuroscience

Interests

My research focuses on designing novel analytical techniques based on mid-infrared spectroscopy for industrial, environmental and medical sensing applications. I am currently working on the development of a novel sensor for continuous and near real-time monitoring of the brain chemistry of brain trauma patients.
