Nanostructural materials with tunable architectures and morphologies present unique electrical, optical, magnetic or mechanical properties. Such nanomaterials will be synthesized and their complex interactions with various biological systems will be tested to fully understand how their morphology controls their characteristics and ability to be used as highly sensitive agents to control biological processes. Such multifunctional materials will have applications in the areas of advanced materials, nanomedicine, sensing, or biology. Plasmonically active nanostructures with strong spectroscopic signatures can be used for biomedical applications.
