Nanosensors and devices Strategic Research Group uri icon

The group develops Nanosensors and miniaturized devices for applications in the areas of healthcare and environmental engineering. Our sensors are mostly based on electrochemical, photonic and luminescent signal transduction and amplification schemes, and can incorporate custom microelectronic systems. The group develops microfluidic devices based on electrokinetic and/or centrifugal forces, for diagnostic and medical therapy applications, as well as for organ emulation. We work on synthesis and fabrication processes of structured functional materials at the micro/nanometric scale combining metals, polymers and carbon allotropes. The group has extensive experience in modeling multiphysics systems, as well as in modeling/measuring the interactions of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
