Welcome
Welcome to the Samia Research Group website! Our group is interested in developing functional metal/metal oxide composite nanomaterials for applications in biosensing, catalysis and therapy applications.
Please take a moment to browse through our site to learn more about our research group, and contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.
Research Summary
Dr. Samia’s research interests center around the fabrication and study of intermetallic and metal oxide nanostructures with emphasis on chemical design to achieve desired properties and function. The main applications are in the areas of catalysis, environmental nanotechnology, and nanotheranostics.
Overall, the goal of the research program in the Samia Group is to study and control the surface chemistry, and magneto-opto-electronic properties of intermetallic and metal oxide nanoparticles through nanostructuring. This research effort will in turn have a profound impact on the application of these materials in alternative energy, environmental and in biomedical technologies.
