• Chris Chapman is awarded a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation. Congrats, Chris!
• Our group’s paper, titled “Molecular Release from Patterned Nanoporous Gold Thin Films,” is accepted to and published online in Nanoscale. Congrats to Özge and Pallavi!

A collaborative paper with UC Davis – Center for Biophotonics, titled “Fabrication and characterization of flexible and tunable plasmonic nanostructures,” is published in Scientific Reports by Nature Publishing.

Dr. Ling Wang joins the group as a postdoctoral researcher. He received his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Universitat Politècnica, Spain. His BS degree is in Life Sciences from University of Science and Technology of China, China. He will be developing miniaturized platforms to construct neuronal circuits for biosensor applications. Welcome, Ling!

• Tatiana Dorofeeva joins the group as a graduate student researcher. She is a PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. She earned her BS and MS degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley and at the University of Virginia respectively. She will be developing electrical sensor platforms for cell imaging. Welcome, Tatiana!
• Our group’s first paper, titled “Microfabrication of nanoporous gold patterns for cell-material interaction studies,” is published online in the Journal of Visual Experiments. Congrats to all!

Chris Chapman is awarded a Biotechnology Program Fellowship from the Designated Emphasis in Biotechnology Program (DEB) at UC Davis. Congrats, Chris!
