Research Interest

My current research focuses on chemistry of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes and development of applications for these materials. Directed assembly of functional networks from nanoscopic building blocks (nanotubes, nanoparticles, macromolecules) is at the centre of our experimental activities. My other research interests include molecular self-assembly and electron microscopy
