Cuong Cao
Role
Collaborator
Dr Cuong Cao is a Lecturer in Advanced Micro- and Nano-Diagnostics. His research has been dedicated to bringing together elements from micro- and nanofabrication, applied physics, analytical chemistry, and biology which is truly multidisciplinary in nature. His original research articles have been mostly published in leading, high impact journals such as Advanced Materials, ACS Nano, Small, Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Water Research, Lab on a Chip, etc.
Dr Cao research focuses on three main research topics exploiting cutting-edge micro- and nano-technologies to address these global challenges:
- Synthesis and fabrication of optically-active materials using both top-down and bottom-up approaches to provide high quality plasmonic nanomaterials for biosensing.
- Development of nanoplasmonics-based biosensing platforms, including but not limited to SPR, LSPR, SERS, and particle-based detections.
- Development of point-of-care analyses: we aim to incorporate and transfer molecular diagnostic techniques and nanoplasmonic transducers on to compact lab-on-a-chip formats.
