Interests
He is currently addressing the fabrication of sensor arrays employing low-dimensional metal oxides and carbon nanomaterials. Cost-effective and industrially scalable methods are considered for bottom-up integration in MEMS or flexible platforms. The applications sought are (i) sensitive and selective gas microsensors for environmental monitoring, medicine or safety and (ii) heterogeneous catalysis. Advanced characterisation and modelling techniques are used to understand the materials in depth, to gain insight into gas sensing, catalytic properties and mechanisms, and finally to establish structure-performance relationships.
