RESEARCH


As an interdisciplinary team,  we focus on three main research themes related to nanotechnology and the environment.

  1. Nano-bio Interactions: the fundamental understanding of nano-bio interactions is the key for both nanoEHS and environmental nanotechnology;

  2. Environmental safety assessment of nanoparticles, nanomaterials, nanostructures and nanocomposites involves the development of screening platforms (AI-assisted HTS, biological models, and the dissection of structure/activity relationship between nano-characteristics and biological impacts (both positive and negative);

  3. Safe-by-Design of novel nanomaterials for environmental applications, towards the goal of clean water, clean air, clean soil, and clean energy.
