  • New PDRA position available

    We’re recruiting a PDRA to join us at the University of Glasgow on a project to develop a new sensing tool with real-world impact.This PDRA will lead the development of a compact device for on-site detection of trace contaminants in whisky, working in partnership with the Scotch Whisky Research Institute, whose members produce ~90% of Scotland’s whisky by volume.The…

  • New paper published in ACS Sensors

    Our new paper on cross-reactive plasmonic metasurfaces for universal liquid sensing applications has been published in ACS Sensors. This represents the first example of a solid-state, reusable “tongue” sensor for chemical composition monitoring in liquids. The paper is Open Access and can be found here:An Integrated Plasmonic Sensing Array for Chemical Fingerprinting and Flavor Profiling…

  • Sara wins poster prize

    Huge congratulations to my PhD student, Sara Shadman, who came 3rd in the Best Poster competition at BioMedEng25 for her poster:“Development of a Cross-Reactive Nanophotonic Biosensor for Fluid ‘Fingerprinting’ and Label-Free Disease Detection”Sara is taking our successful plasmonic metasurface “tongue” sensors and translating them into an all-silicon nanophotonic platform. This next-generation approach could offer improved stability—both physically and…

  • Finlay Walton joins Artificial Taste-Bud team

    We are very happy to have recently had Finlay Walton join our group. Finlay will be working on our Artificial Taste-Bud technology; looking at new applications and doing some tech development.

  • New paper published in Optics Express

    Sara Angelucci’s first paper was recently published in @OpticaPubsGroup Optics Express. Happy to be a part of it. Well done Sara. https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.513829 “Structured light enhanced machine learning for fiber bend sensing”

  • New Paper Published In ACS Nano with the Peveler laboratory

    We were fortune enough to be involved in this excellent paper from the lab of William Peveler. Available to read here: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsnano.3c06601

  • New DNA Origami Paper Published In ACS Nano

    Our new paper on using the fluorous-effect to increase the efficiency of DNA origami assembly has just been published in ACS Nano. The paper is Open Access and can be found here:Fluorous-Directed Assembly of DNA Origami Nanostructureshttps://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.2c10727

  • New Artificial Taste-Bud Paper Published In Environmental Sciences Nano

    Our new paper in Environmental Sciences Nano shows that nanoplasmonic taste-buds can be used to monitor drinking water treatment sites: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2023/EN/D3EN00565H This work was a collaboration between my group, Will Peveler’s lab, and Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay’s lab, as part of the Decentralised Water Technologies EPSRC Programme Grant led by Bill Sloan.
