My research focuses on the use of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to study a variety of biological and chemical systems. These include nanoparticle-DNA interactions, organometallic vesicle structure, bacterial morphology and nanomechanics, superparamagnetic nanoparticles, malarial hepatocytes, Langmuir-Blodgett films and proteoliposome structure. I am also developing a new quantum dot-based biosensor.
We don't have any positions open currently, but if you are interested in a project concerning AFM, please contact me.

One of our AFM images (measured by Cristina Neves and I) was featured in the Veeco SPM 2010 calendar - the image shows a malarial mosquito eye - the image was named "Looking for Lunch" by Veeco:
Work on my book has now finished. It is called "Atomic Force Microscopy", written along with Paul West and it will be published in 2010. More details can be found at afmhelp.com.
One of our AFM images was featured in Scientec customer calendar for January 2009 - the image shows nanoparticle gene sensors interacting with target dsDNA:
