Research interests:
Prior to my PhD, my research at IPRI was in the area of the development of an all polymer (polypyrrole) electrochemomechanical actuator as well as investigating the electrochemical synthesis and characterisation of water soluble polyaniline. s
My PhD research saw me take a step away from conducting polymers and focus on the electrochemistry of metal electrodes in proteinaceous media. This involved the use of various electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to study the behaviour of the interface between proteins and solid metal (gold and titanium dioxide) electrodes.
In my present position as a postdoctoral research fellow I am involved in the synthesis and characterisation of various polyaniline systems such as, nanoparticle micellar dispersions and sulphonated polyaniline.
Recently my research interests have turned toward carbon nanotube chemistry involving their non-covalent and covalent functionalisation with selected biomolecules to form dispersions. I am also actively involved in researching the various applications for which these materials may be applied.
