The Zhou group is interested in the development of (1) glucose-responsive hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) for glucose sensing and self-regulated insulin delivery; (2) multifunctional nanomaterials from the combination of optically active NPs with responsive polymers for sensing, imaging, and therapy; and (3) composite nanomaterials from the complex assembly of carbon-based NPs, inorganic NPs, and other amphiphilies in the confinement of (bio)polymers and colloids for sensing, catalysis, and environmental remediation.
