Research Interests
- Understand the role of platinum in electron transfer within the bio-Anode of microbial fuel cells (MFCs)
- Determine the most efficient methods of platinum deposition that optimize electron transfer, reduce internal resistance, and thus optimize MFC energy production
- Determine the effect of platinum concentration, availability, and structure on biofilms
