The EMBER Research Group works to synthesize, modify, and characterize materials, particularly from readily available material (agricultural wastes such as vegetable and fruit peels or rotted wastes; marine wastes such as fish skins, crustacean shells; etc). These materials are modified and optimized to use for biological and environmental applications. (For instance, antimicrobial applications, waste water treatment for emerging pollutants). The functional materials are well characterized using a variety of analysis techniques (FTIR, UV-VIS, SEM, AAS) and computational techniques (PYMOL, MATLAB, GROMAX).
