Previous Funded Research Projects
ZINCLAPS2Funding source: Commission of the European CommunityStart: 01-07-2017 / End: 30-06-2019 In this project, we propose to develop a novel LAPS setup with high spatiotemporal resolution combined with two-photon fluorescence microscopy that allows imaging of physiological processes with submicron resolution and in real time. |
Towards in-vivo electrochemical imaging with flexible, light-addressable electrodesFunding source: Royal SocietyStart: 15-03-2018 / End: 14-03-2019 High-resolution mapping of chemical activity of cells on surfaces is important for the understanding biological processes. We are aiming to develop the first flexible and biocompatible electrochemical imaging chip for in-vivo imaging of cell activity. The groundwork for this will be laid by this PhD project by developing novel organic semiconductor coatings suitable for high-resolution photocurrent imaging and measurement of cell-signalling processes such as cell impedance, cell surface charges, release of metabolites and neurotransmitters. |
Materials development for carbon dioxide gas sensorsFunding source: McGowan Sensor Labs LimitedStart: 10-09-2018 / End: 08-03-2019 In this project, a novel carbon dioxide sensor material is developed for use in resistive gas sensors. The research is carried out in collaboration with McGowan Sensor Labs Limited. |

Scanning Photo-induced Impedance Microscopy (SPIM)AC impedance spectroscopy is a powerful technique for the investigation of electrochemical interfaces and thin and thick films. It provides information about electrochemical reactions, coverage, conductivity and pore formation. However, a major drawback is that the information obtained always represents the properties averaged… |
Low cost periodontal disease diagnosticPeriodontal diseases are inflammatory conditions that affect the supporting tissues of teeth and can lead to destruction of the bone support and ultimately tooth loss if untreated. Progression of periodontitis is usually site specific but not uniform, and currently there are no accurate clinical methods for distinguishing sites… |
Biosensors based on the degradation of thin polymer filmsDisposable biosensors for the detection of enzyme activities based on the enzymatic degradation of thin polymer films have been developed. Film degradation in the presence of an enzyme is monitored using impedance or Quartz Crystal Microbalance. |
Biosensor arrays interrogated using SPIMDisposable sensors based on the degradation of thin films as a result of an enzymatic reaction have been developed into efficient enzyme detectors. Film degradation has traditionally been monitored using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) or classical ac impedance measurements. The enzyme… |
