10/7/12 New publication!
Our recent work on creating antibacterial surfaces has been accepted for publication in ACS Applied Material Interfaces. This work describes how we created different methods of attaching an antibacterial molecule to a surface, and demonstrated that the molecule will still capable of killing E. coli. The lead student researcher on the project was Ivan Ivanov, […]
Terri Camesano
At WPI, I teach in the department of Chemical Engineering. My favorite teaching activities are working on research projects with graduate and undergraduate students. I love to engage students in the discovery process of research. The work in my lab relates to studying how bacteria attach to different kinds of surfaces. For example, we have […]
