Overview
In the Wiley Group, we make new nanomaterials by controlling the assembly of atoms in solution, and explore applications for nanomaterials in medicine, catalysis, plasmonics, and electronics. Our goal is to precisely control the size, shape, and composition of materials on the nanometer scale to explore how these parameters affect the fundamental properties of a material, and produce such nanomaterials economically so they can be applied to solve real-world problems.

Toward One-Way Smoke: Synthesis of Copper-Based Microclubs with Asymmetric Scattering and Absorption
Journal Article Advanced Functional Materials · July 17, 2024 The ultimate goal of this work is to create an engineered aerosol that acts as one-way smoke, i.e. it creates an asymmetric vision environment in which the ability to image objects depends on the viewing direction. To this end, a rapid, one-pot synthesis o ... Full text CiteDesign and solution-based testing of a synthetic aerosol particle with asymmetric scattering behavior
Conference Proceedings of SPIE the International Society for Optical Engineering · January 1, 2024 We have modeled, synthesized, and performed preliminary testing of a synthetic aerosol particle with the intent to affect an asymmetric (“one-way”) vision environment when deployed as an airborne plume and aligned in real time via an applied acoustic field ... Full text CiteCollecting sexual orientation in counseling research: Implications for counselor education
Journal Article Counselor Education and Supervision · December 1, 2023 Sexual orientation is often invisible in counseling research despite increasing LGBQ+ identity in the United States. We used consensual qualitative research to explore considerations from LGBQ+ counseling researchers for collecting sexual orientation. Thre ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
