Research highlight

My current research involves creating core/shell nanoparticle architectures and enhancing the visible and NIR emission for in vivo imaging and sensing.

The unique opportunity for novel cutting-edge research in UB's Chemistry Department is both exciting and fulfilling.

I enjoy hiking with my wife and son, playing competitive sports, and reading nonfiction.

Congratulations, Micah!
