An overview of the group's research into plasmon chemistry and sensing.
Intense plasmonic hotspots associated with carefully designed nanoarchitectures dramatically enhance sensing capabilities, allowing us to observe individual molecules and follow chemical reactions in real time.

Previous Work
Self-assembled plasmonic nanogaps Using a rigid sub-nm wide space molecule known as CB, we are able to create plasmonic aggregates in solution which have very larger and reproducible SERS signals that are extremely useful for sensing. We have patented this technology, and are developing various demonstrators based on it.
