Assistant Professor in Bioengineering,
University of California Riverside
Kevin’s research lies at the intersection of single entity (molecule or cell) biophysics and nanoscale device physics. His lab focuses on label-free technology such as nanopore-based electrical sensing and single molecule Raman sensing. In order to maximize robustness and sensitivity of these techniques, trapping techniques are also routinely used to measure single entities over a longer period of time. Kevin is interested in applying these technologies to astrobiology; specifically life detection and the characterization of extreme life here on earth.
