*        Specialization and Current Research Interests

                        Specialization:

 (i)                 Main field: Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry

(ii)                               Other fields: Interfacial electrochemistry and biophysics, particularly that of biological interfaces; transfer phenomena across modified interfaces, biomembranes and their models: self assembled and Langmuir-Blodgett films, bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs); molecular electronics, biosensors and energy transduction, interfacial catalysis, conducting polymer 1D and 2D domains within or on the molecular films at the electrode surface

Magnetic nanoparticles (ferrofluids), surface modifications and applications (e.g., targeted drug delivery)

  Current research interest

My current research covers the area of charge transfer, energy transduction and molecular electronics in molecular film assemblies (e.g., self-assembled monolayers on a conducting support, hybrid alkanethiol/phospholipid bilayers, bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) and phospholipid bilayers tethered to a conducting support) This research has the objective getting the insight into the workings of biomembranes and design and development of systems capable of biosensing, storing and transducing energy at the molecular level.

Other area of interest covers functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles with organic molecules affecting their magnetic properties and applications. One of the current research is the attachment of anthracycline drugs to the surface of SPIONs (Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles) for targeted drug delivery in the external magnetic field.

 

             I am currently involved in two projects aimed at the supramolecular design of the electrode surface for molecular recognition and selectivity in electrochemical reactions, as well as for the surface catalysis. The goal of these projects is to design, characterize and demonstrate specialized interfacial structures where a number of biomolecules (e.g., transmembrane proteins) can be incorporated in a way that retains their biological activity, while being electrochemically addressable. Such interfacial structures will be tailored to serve both as matrices for the immobilization of biomolecules and as stable and electronically conducting molecular junctions contacting these biomolecules with conducting supports.
