Welcome to the Vukotic Research Group (VRG) 

Our research is dedicated to the design, synthesis, and characterization of new solid-state crystalline materials with industrial applications as adsorbents, chemical sensors, and drug releasing biomaterials. We also have a strong interest in developing new research tools and devices required for high-throughput screening, and in-situ characterization of these materials via X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Members of our group benefit from the multidisciplinary nature of our work and gain skills in the following areas: organic/inorganic synthesis, crystallization, purification, spectroscopy, materials characterization, and various X-ray diffraction characterization methods.
