Overview
Research in Charles Maldarelli’s group centers principally on interfacial and colloidal phenomena at the micro and nanoscale. Current research projects include:
Active Matter
Self-propelled colloidal locomotors along boundaries
(with Joel Koplik, Physics Department, CCNY)
Microfluidics
Microbead based lab on a chip diagnostic platforms
Colloidal Hydrodynamics
Hydrodynamic motion of colloids on fluid interfaces and particle assembly
(with Joel Koplik, Physics Department, CCNY)
Green Chemistry
Ecofriendly Surfactants for the re-mediation of maritime oil spills
(with George John, Chemistry Dept., CCNY)
Monoclonal Antibodies
Dynamic adsorption and phase behavior of monoclonal antibodies adsorbed at a gas/water interface
(with Raymond Tu, Department of Chemical Engineering, City College of New York)
Peptide Self-Assembly and Catalysis
Minimalist and switchable peptide-based artificial enzymes
(with Rein Ulijn, Department of Chemistry, Hunter and Advanced Science Research Center, CUNY)
