Research

My research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of novel light-emitting materials and their applications to sensing, solar energy conversion and biomedical applications.I am involved in several larger research programs involving other scientists from USD and the region.  These are:

  1. The Center for Research and Development of Light-Activated Materials (CRDLM)

  2. The Northern Plains Undergraduate Research Center (NPURC)

  3. Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program: “Photodynamics and Materials at the Nanoscale”

  4. Photo-Activated Nanoscale Systems (PANS)
