Brian Wagner
Professor
Faculty of Sciences- Chemistry
University of Prince Edward Island
Canada
Biography
Dr. Brian has done his Phd from Western universoty, Canada & now serves as professor at UPEi.
Research Interest
Dr. Brian Wagner researches the ability of large, hollow, cage-like “host” molecules to encapsulate other small “guest” molecules. This often increases the fluorescence, or the ability to emit light, of the guests. Real-world applications include enhanced trace analysis of pesticides and the design of molecular sensors.
