Research Interests
Biosensors
She investigated the signal generation mechanisms of field-effect devices for cell-membrane/device interfaces. Planar lipid bilayers were formed on silicon nitride/silicon dioxide/silicon substrates. Capacitance-voltage characteristics were then examined to obtain flat-band voltage. It was shown that the flat-band voltage varied when planar bilayer were formed. The signal response was dependent on the net charge of lipid membranes.
