Plasmonic Electrochemistry Laboratory

Our laboratory at California State University, San Bernardino develops advanced nanomaterials and electrochemical systems for sustainable energy, environmental technologies, and wearable sensing applications. Research efforts focus on plasmon-assisted electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, wearable plasmonic devices, and nanostructured materials for clean fuel production, energy conversion, water remediation, and real-time chemical sensing. 

The group is particularly interested in designing earth-abundant catalytic and plasmonic materials capable of driving chemical reactions and sensing processes using light and electricity under environmentally friendly conditions. By combining nanoscience, materials chemistry, electrochemical engineering, and device fabrication, the laboratory aims to develop technologies that convert renewable resources and waste streams into valuable fuels and chemicals while also enabling next-generation wearable diagnostic and sensing platforms. 

The laboratory is committed to fostering an inclusive and collaborative research environment where students from diverse backgrounds can develop as scientists, engineers, and innovators. Through hands-on interdisciplinary research, students gain experience in nanoscience, electrochemistry, materials synthesis, plasmonics, device fabrication, and advanced characterization techniques while contributing to solutions for global energy, environmental, and healthcare challenges.
