Research Summary:

Current research efforts are focused on the development of novel biocatalysts and biomaterials that can be used to enhance or manipulate microbial metabolism for the degradation of toxic pollutants or for environmentally-friendly synthesis of nanomaterials and fabrication of nanodevices. Another area of interest is the application of these novel biocatalysts or biomaterials for biosensor development.
