Nanotechnology
My work in nanotechnology includes my doctoral work on synthesis and stabilization of a novel samarium oxychloride compound (TEM image below) as well as a recent publication utilizing gold nanoparticles for detection of analytes in solution. As a materials scientist I have ample experience in characterizing materials surfaces, mechanical properties, crystallography, microstructures, chemical analysis, nanomaterials, chemical composition and microscopies (visible, laser scanning, electron).

Figure above is a TEM image of a samarium oxychloride nanorod I synthesized during my doctoral work. This high resolution image investigates the lattice fringe pattern that helped eludicate the crystal properties of this nanomaterial. The scale bar is 20nm.
