Research:
The Roca group studies the stability of metal nanoparticles in aqueous solution. In order to understand and improve nanoparticle’s stability, we explore syntheses of nanomaterials with different stabilizing agents and characterize them via molecular spectroscopy and electron microscopy.
Courses taught:
- CH 115 Fundamentals of Chemistry (lecture and lab)
- CH 232 Analytical Methods in Chemistry (lab)
- CH 341 Biochemistry: Macromolecular Structure and Function (lab)
