"Plasmon sensors in Biology"
Prof. Joseph Irudayaraj
Agricultural & Biological Engineering

Abstract
The fundamentals of plasmonics and its application in biosensing will be explored. Nanostructures primarily comprised of gold nanoparticles and nanorods will be used for detecting cancer biomarkers and pathogenic bacteria. Sensor fabrication and testing of its detection limits will be explored by mathematical modeling quantitatively. Examples of technology development based on nanoSPR will be provided.
