This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), supports Professor Charles Henry of Colorado State University in developing innovative methods to create next-generation carbon-based sensors for chemical and biological detection. The $525,400 award aims to enhance the performance and versatility of laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrodes through precise surface modification, enabling the creation of "clickable" LIG electrodes that can be functionalized with biomolecules like antibodies and DNA. This is expected to improve sensor sensitivity and selectivity while minimizing interference from complex samples. The project will systematically compare these new electrodes to traditional carbon sensor technologies using advanced electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. Additionally, the team will develop a learning kit to expose K-12 students to microfluidics and project-based science. The project runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028.
