My work on detection of methamphetamine has been published
in the August 2013 issue of ACS Nano. In this paper,
together with my colleagues, we developed a microfluidic
device that uses surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy to
detect trace narcotics in biological fluids, and
demonstrated its functionality by detecting methamphetamine
in saliva samples.
