Research Summary

Mordechai Rothschild is the Group Leader for the Chemical, Biological, and Nanoscale Technologies at Lincoln.

The Chemical, Biological, and Nanoscale Technologies Group combines chemistry, biology, and nanofabrication disciplines, enabling the development of new technologies in the areas of chemical and biological defense, diagnostic and forensic analysis, and sensors and signal processors. The work includes the development and testing of chemical sensors for trace explosive and toxic chemical detection (both point and standoff), protein engineering for novel sensing and decontamination applications, and the development of improved processes and protocols for sensing DNA and RNA. The group also develops novel lithographic and nanofabrication technologies for application to nanoscale devices, integrated photonics systems, components for optical communications, chemical and biological sensors, and nanofluidic systems.
