John-Paul is an EPSRC funded PhD student supervised by Dr. Michael Thomas from the London Centre for Nanotechnology along with Dr. Stephanie Frank and Dr. Kenth Gustafson from the department of Biochemical Engineering at UCL. His research focuses on the design and incorporation of bio/inorganic hybrid nanoparticle structures into both conventional and new biosensing device formats. Eventually, developing highly sensitive devices capable of producing signals that can be quantitatively detected using a mobile phone camera.
