Andre Gesquiere

Andre Gesquiere completed his Ph.D. study at the University of Leuven, Belgium. He is now a Professor at the Nanoscience Technology Center of the University of Central Florida, leading a research group that carries out projects centered on the Nano Material applications. The Gesquiere lab conduct multidisciplinary research program crosses the borders between materials science, engineering, physical chemistry, organic chemistry, and analytical chemistry and creates a bridge between fundamental research and technologically important applications.Though Dr. Gesquiere’s lab exploits the potential of nano-scale materials in versatile aspects, an emphasis is on study the optoelectronic properties of nanomaterials using particle spectroscopic techniques. A perspective application of those optoelectronic materials, such as conjugated polymers, nanoparticles and their hybrids at the single molecule/particle level, would be implement them as probes. In combination with the parallel research of the lab group, which is developing novel imaging and spectroscopic techniques for biological systems, the nano-probes can achieve an efficient tracking system at the molecular level. This aids the quantitative study biophysical processes at the single molecule level to unravel and understand the mechanism and kinetics of biologically important processes such as DNA and protein folding dynamics, and biochemical reactions involving enzymes.
