Lior Sepunaru

Specific Project Info:
Dr. Sepunaru's research focuses on electrocatalysis, specifically studying the interaction between biology and electricity. Students will have the opportunity to assist with research related to these projects, potentially working on electrocatalysis experiments in the lab and analyzing data. Students will be involved in both lab work and literature review, gaining experience in the application of chemistry to biological systems.
Required Skills: Statistical analysis and familiarity with Python are preferable, but not required.
Estimated Number of Students: 1-2

Bio:

Lior's research focuses on bioelectronics and electrocatalysis at both the macro and nanoscale, including bio-nanoelectrochemistry, single-entity biophysics, nano-electrochemistry, electron transfer, and enzyme catalysis. He completed his post-doctoral studies as a Marie Curie research fellow at the University of Oxford, working under Prof. Richard G. Compton on bio-nanoelectrochemistry. He earned his Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2014, where he focused on solid-state bioelectronics under the supervision of Prof. David Cahen and Prof. Mordechai Sheves. Lior's current work emphasizes the development of advanced biosensor applications.
