My group is primarily engaged in developing glasses for biomedical and biotechnology applications using our knowledge of glass chemistry and processing. Traditional melting and sol-gel processing techniques are used to synthesize the desired glasses. Bioactive glasses are of particular interest, including the development of compositionally novel bioactive glasses that harness the natural link between trace metals and physiological response. We are also involved in work on hollow glass microspheres for hydrogen gas storage.
