Cohen-Karni research group – an interdisciplinary research team at the intersection of materials science, physics, chemistry and biology!
We are a team of scientists that combine materials science and engineering, chemistry, biology, and physics to develop new class of nanoscale hybrid-materials. Our work is focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms of the emergent electrical, electrochemical, optical, and thermal properties of our synthesized novel hybrid-nanomaterials. Our tailor-made complex hybrid-nanomaterials are also being investigated as biosensors, and energy conversion and storage platforms. Leveraging this extensive knowledge, we are also exploring novel strategies for the investigation of biological entities at multiple length scales from complex cellular networks to the molecular level.
