The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded the University of Notre Dame $286,443 on August 15, 2026, through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop advanced electrochemical sensor platforms for detecting and distinguishing structurally similar chemical compounds. The project, titled "CAREER: Integrating Nanoconfined Interfaces and Aptamer Switches for Autonomous, Electrochemical Imaging of Chemical Analogs," will operate through July 31, 2031, and focuses on creating measurement tools that integrate nanoscale materials and molecular recognition switches to identify chemical analogs without reliance on laboratory-based instrumentation. The research combines nanoporous and nanostructured electrodes, engineered surface chemistries, and electrochemical aptamer-based recognition to establish design rules for discriminating between closely related molecules in complex media. The funded research will advance real-time chemical analysis capabilities with applications to precision medicine, drug monitoring, environmental sensing, and biotechnology. Beyond the core research objectives, the project incorporates integrated education and workforce development components, including training for students in electrochemistry, nanoscience, biointerfaces, and data-enabled chemical measurement, alongside outreach activities designed to broaden exposure to modern analytical chemistry and biotechnology. The technical investigations will examine how nanoscale curvature, pore architecture, interfacial charge, and antifouling layers influence molecular recognition and signal transduction, providing foundational knowledge for developing adaptive, selective, and scalable electrochemical sensor systems.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
