Research interest of my group is new nanomaterials for analytical chemistry and biotechnology.

Our main objects to study are:

• Carbon-based materials and particularly nano-diamond particles (NDs), and graphene derivatives (rGO);
•  Silicon-based materials and, in particular, nanoparticles of silicon, silica and silicon carbide;
•  Core-shell hybrid nano-material with magnetic (Fe3O4), luminescent (Au) core protected with biocompatible shell.

We investigate the strategy and methodology for the functionalization of the nanoparticles in order to:

•  Produce new adsorbents for concentration and separation of bioactive compounds
•  Improve systems for drug delivery and target release;
•  Create nanoparticles for bacterial and cancer treatment;
