My research centers on designing and fabricating multifunctional nanostructures incorporating 0D/2D nanomaterials for sensing, nanoelectronics, and bioengineering applications. Using advanced characterization techniques such as real-time electrochemical and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, I focus on the surface chemistry and electrochemical kinetics study within nano-assemblies. This work contributes to ultrasensitive biosensor development and pushes forward the fields of materials science and biotechnology.  Here are some highlights of my research:

·      Developed single-entity collision electrochemistry technique to real-time monitor the molecule dynamics at nanoscale.

·      Achieved the first real-time observation of a tetrahedral intermediate at single-molecule level using an electrochemical and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

·      Designed nanostructured electrodes with efficient electron transfer pathways to examine electron transfer kinetics, probe surface binding interactions, and enhance sensor sensitivity .

·      Engineered nanomaterials surface to exhibit tuneable properties and precise nanostructures for sensing, nano-electronics, and biomedicine applications.
