Research interests

Theme 3

My current Research Interests: are concerned predominantly with the use of electrochemical techniques as a means of controlling and/or determining the rate of redox processes. These techniques are extremely useful since we can investigate kinetic processes for a wide range of time scales due to our ability to control electrical current over 12 orders of magnitude from picoamperes (10-12 amperes) to 10 amperes.
