Unlocking Molecular-Level Secrets
Nuwan Bandara (PI)
I'm the principal investigator of the Naoscale Transport and Sensing Lab (NTSL).
My primary research interest is in the field of nanopore-based single molecule sensing. This includes, for example, nanopore fabrication, surface and solution modifications, development of sensing methodologies, development of custom codes for fast data analysis, low-cost device fabrication and protocol development.
Other areas of interest include optical sensing and, gas sensing
