Welcome to the Balaz research group!
The research interests of our group lie at the intersection of organic, biomolecular, and material chemistry. Current research projects include 1) supramolecular assembly of porphyrin-DNA nanostructures; 2) enhanced circular dichroism detection of chiral biomolecules; 3) colloidal quantum dots (semiconductor nanocrystals) for QD sensitized solar cells
Recent publications
Achiral CdSe quantum dots exhibit optical activity in the visible region upon post-synthetic ligand exchange with D- or L-cysteine.
