My current agenda focuses on 3 lines of research:

Water Quality: Citizen water quality monitoring systems (pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature and electrical conductivity) in addition to heavy metals.





Energies: Nanomaterials energy recovery through heat (Thermoelectric modules) and energy recovery through movement (Piezoelectric generators)







Semiconductors: Nanostructured thin films in applications of Acoustic Wave Sensors – SAW in Aluminum Nitrides – AlN widely used in communications.
