Research Areas & Focuses

1. Prevent bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation through surface engineering approaches and the creation of antibacterial/non-fouling surfaces for a number of application- medical, environmental etc.
2. Accurate and quantitative bacterial detection through innovative sensing
3. Prevent bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation through the design and application of quorum sensing inhibitors
4. To kill and/or remove established biofilms through drug delivery and materials design, e.g. for wound management
5. Design of novel antimicrobials
6. Formulations and pharmaceutical engineering, e.g. drug delivery
