Research Interest
The Mattoussi Lab. focuses on understanding and tailoring the surface properties of colloidal inorganic nanocrystals (e.g., luminescent QDs and metallic nanoclusters, Au nanoparticles and magnetic nanocrystals) and their use in various applications, including in biological imaging and sensing . This entails controlling and optimizing several key aspects of nanoparticle growth, structural and optical characterization, ligand design, and surface coordination. We characterize the surface properties of these nanomaterials using techniques such as photochemistry and NMR spectroscopy. We also develop approaches to control the interactions between these surface-ligated nanomaterials and the surrounding environment as means for energy harvesting.
