Research Interests

In the Dionne group we create lanthanide doped nanoparticles that have the unique optical property that they can emit light at a higher energy than they absorb. My work involves the synthesis and functionalization of upconverting nanoparticles as non-invasive biocompatible force sensors to detect and report forces in the immune synapse. I hope to use these sensors to elucidate and harness the role of mechanical force in the immune system.
