Research interests: mathematical modeling, sensor development and instrumentation,
spectroscopy, light scattering, remote sensing, microbial detection, micron and sub-micron
particle characterization
Dr. Garcia-Rubio鈥檚 team focuses on sensor development for real-time continuous monitoring
of biological and environmental processes with particular emphasis on quantitative
characterization of micron and submicron particles. This research couples state-of-the-art
analytical techniques in spectroscopy and microbiology to provide a detailed characterization
of microorganisms and cells. In addition to marine bio-particles, the technology developed
through this research has important applications in veterinary applications and medical
diagnosis.
