Research focus:
My group operates at the interface between nanomaterials science, nanofluidics, catalysis, nanoplasmonics and spectroscopy, with a particular focus on sustainable energy-related materials, (photo)catalysts, nano-sensors and (single) nanoparticles. For that purpose we continuously develop and evolve our own methodologies for state-of-the-art nanofabrication, and build our own research instrumentation.
Focus of future research:
- Role of nanoparticle microstructure in nanoplasmonic hydrogen sensors
- Graphene-metal nanoparticle heterostructrures for gas sensing
- Heterogeneous (photo)catalysis on individual nanostructures to unravel structure-function correlations
- Plasmon-mediated heterogeneous catalysis
- Combining nanofluidics with single nanoparticle plasmonics
