RESEARCH

Surface Science Engineering Lab ( ST 328, Texas A&M University-San Antonio):

    • Experimental work on colloidal synthesis and deposition to create hierarchical nanostructure ( nanoparticles and nanocomposites ) on surfaces for Sensorial Applications (photonics and electrical).
      • In brief:
        • Nanoparticle Synthesis with Functionalization: Sonochemistry, Solgel, Thermal, Mechanical.
        • Chemical, Mechanical, and Thermal Processing of material: pre/during/post-synthesis capabilities.
        • Thin film Deposition within the Environmental Control Chamber: Bottom-up Processes.
        • Material Characterization: Spectroscopy, Microscopy, Goniometer FTIR, DLS, IV/CV. Outsource further characterization(s).
        • Analog and Mixed Signal-based Design and Analysis of Circuits for sensorial feasibility. LabVIEW.
