Scholar-generated biography
Jwa-Min Nam is a researcher at Seoul National University specializing in nanoscience, nanoparticle-based technologies, and plasmonics. Their work focuses on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), nanoparticle-enhanced spectroscopy, and biotechnology applications. Nam's research explores the development of bio-barcode assays, nanogap-engineered nanodumbbells, and DNA-tailorable nanoparticles for ultrasensitive protein detection. They also investigate plasmonic photothermal nanoparticles for biomedical applications and Raman dye-labeled probes for molecular analysis. The research emphasizes the design of highly uniform and reproducible SERS-active nanomaterials with nanogap structures for single-molecule detection. These efforts aim to advance nanotechnology for biomedical diagnostics and molecular sensing.
