Our research commitments are to advance the fundamental understanding of the self-assembly processes in nature and to exploit these processes to design and synthesize hierarchical nanostructures with novel physical and chemical properties. Our highly interdisciplinary research is supported by the excellent facilities and collaborative environment of the University of Nebraska system. Our research focuses on three important areas of nanoscale chemistry:
![]() |
DESIGN AND SYNTHESISThe design and synthesis of novel nanomaterials by abstracting the efficient designs from nature |
![]() |
NANOTECHNOLOGY STUDYThe study of biological macromolecules at the nanoscale using methods of nanotechnology |
![]() |
NEW DEVICE DEVELOPMENTThe development of new analytical devices via biomimetical approach with nanomaterials |
