Research Interest

We are an interdisciplinary research group actively looking for developing products and processes to detect, prevent, and control infections.

Primary areas of interest:

Surface modification for healthcare application
Antimicrobial coatings & hydrogels
Modelling of biological systems

Research Theme:

The overall goal of our research group is to apply chemical and material science engineering principles to understand, detect, prevent, and control infections. Current focus is in the experimental design of antimicrobial materials and coatings that can potentially be used to inhibit the transmission of microbes via frequently-touched surfaces, to prevent the occurrence of biomaterial-associated infections, and to facilitate the healing of infected wounds. There is also modelling-based collaborative research to understand viral growth dynamics in humans, and to assist in computational antimicrobial discovery.
