Research
Our research is focused in two major areas, “Nano-agriculture” and “Nano-medicine” which has direct positive impact on global economy, human health and the environment. We develop new materials at nano/microscale, study their fundamental properties and gain new knowledge. Such new knowledge often enable us to develop new technologies with commercial potential.
