His research interests focus on microreactors simulation and design, using microfabricated microreactors for analysis of trace volatile organic compounds, breath analysis for disease biomarker discovery, microfabricated gas sensors, and microelectrodes for environmental and biomedical applications. The goals of his reserach projects are to identify biomarkers of lung cancer and tuberculosis in exhaled breath, urine and blood plasma for early diagnosis. He is interested in obtaining fundamental understanding of transport phenomena and reaction kinetics in microreactors and the sensing mechanism of microsensors. He is developing innovative techniques for non-invasive diagnosis of diseases including lung cancer and tuberculosis.
