Research Interests
Our lab engages in chemical/biological analysis at single-molecule and single-cell level using various types of spectroscopy and microscopy, including fluorescence spectroscopy, total-internal-reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, and dark-field microscopy. We are developing theory and instrumentation of bioanalytical/biophysical chemistry, using chemical micro-analyzers coupled with advanced detection techniques, to provide quantitative knowledge of chemical biology.
We are developing highly sensitive, reliable, and rapid analytical methods and accompanying computer software for drug discovery, disease diagnosis and monitoring, and environmental analysis. We have particular interest in applying computer data structures and algorithms, as well as contemporary statistical methods, to chemical and biological analysis. We are developing computer simulation programs for capillary electrophoresis and chemical micro-analyzers with consideration of micro-/nano-fluid dynamics, electrophoresis, surface properties, channel geometry, reaction equilibriums and kinetics.
