Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Chad B. Willis's research has focused on the synthesis and antimicrobial properties of gold nanoparticles, particularly their size-dependent effects. His work includes studies on sugar-encapsulated gold nanoparticles synthesized through green methods, as well as biofriendly synthesis of surface-modifiable gold nanoparticles for biological detection and catalysis. Willis has also published on the characterization of gold nanoparticles synthesized with biomass assistance.

In addition to his work with nanoparticles, Willis has contributed to the orthopedic literature. His publications in this area include research on tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis, Achilles tendon rupture repair, and the management of axillary nerve injury in elderly patients treated with hemiarthroplasty. He has also investigated pediatric orthopedic injuries related to all-terrain vehicles, examining injury patterns, surgical interventions, and complications.
