Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Maggie He investigates the development and application of carbon nanomaterials for sensing technologies. Her research has focused on the synthesis and functionalization of carbon nanotubes to create chemiresistive sensors capable of detecting various chemical compounds, including N-nitrosodialkylamines and volatile organic compounds like amines. She has explored methods for covalently modifying carbon nanomaterials using iodonium salts and has studied the electrochemical synthesis and exfoliation of hyperstage graphite.

Her work also extends to bio-inspired sensor design, such as developing voltage-activated carbon monoxide sensors. He has received federal funding for her research, including a $188,871 NIH/NIGMS grant as PI for "Graphene covalent grids for single-particle cryo-EM" and a $367,823 NSF grant as co-PI for "MRI: Acquisition of a Sputtering-Evaporation System for Thin Film Deposition." Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13, with 44 total publications and 1,615 total citations.
