Impact and Technology Translation
Technologies developed in the group, from discovery through field validation and deployment.
The group's research philosophy extends from molecules to market. Fundamental work on molecular design, sensing, and device engineering has, in several cases, been carried through material and device development to prototypes, field validation, and eventually spin-off companies or licensed technologies. The four efforts below represent the group's most developed translational work.
