معرفی
Vig Sundaresan is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Mississippi, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts. He leads the Sundaresan Laboratory, focusing on developing high-throughput multimodal imaging techniques to study electrochemical and biological phenomena at the nanoscale and single-entity level. His research integrates super-resolution optical imaging with electrochemical methods to advance understanding in electrocatalysis, materials science, and biology. Dr. Sundaresan teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, and instrumental analysis.
Education: PhD in Chemistry from Temple University (2018), followed by postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame (2019–2021) and a role as Assistant Research Professor there (2021–2022). He has secured prestigious grants including the NSF EPSCoR Research Fellows Award and NSF CMI/EPSCoR RII Track-4 grants. His lab’s recent achievements include developing CLocK microscopy for nanoscale analysis and nanopore-based sensors.
Research interests emphasize imaging electrochemical reactions at the nanoscale, with applications in designing sensitive chemical/biosensors. The lab employs correlated opto-electrochemical techniques to address fundamental questions in catalysis and biological systems. Current projects include NSF-funded studies on super-resolution imaging of nanoparticles and high-throughput electrocatalyst screening.
Advising and collaborations involve mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Notable lab members include Sachintha Illesinge, Nchumi Ndaleh, and Gintu Thomas (PhD students). Recent lab news highlights grants, student recruitment, and presentations at institutions like CECRI, India.
The Sundaresan Lab operates within the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, offering interdisciplinary training. Their future work aims to bridge single-entity insights with ensemble-level system design for practical applications in energy and healthcare.
