Prof. Jayne Carol Garno Louisiana State University, United States

Professor Jayne Garno applies scanning probe experiments with hybrid instrument configurations for chemistry studies at the nanoscale. Research investigations encompass characterizations of surface structures and properties of nanoparticles, proteins, porphyrinoids, and functionalized self-assembled monolayers (SAMs); as well as application of nanomaterials for developing biomimetic and biosensing surfaces. Research goals are to discover new approaches for studying chemical reactions on surfaces, with molecular level sensitivity. The tools of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) can be used to directly visualize surface surfaces after reactions occur. Along with high resolution images, maps of surface forces (e. g. magnetic, electrostatic, elastic) can be acquired concurrently with topography images to achieve unprecedented sensitivity. Approaches for nanolithography encompass SPM-based methods as well as high throughput nanopatterning with colloidal lithography. Nanoscale lithography provides a means to control the arrangement of molecules with spatial selectivity at the molecular level. Garno has been a Professor of Chemistry at LSU since 2004, and has 100+ publications.
