Ning-Ping Huang is a Ph.D. Student at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. She joined the Department of Materials, Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology in 1998. Before that she was a Research Assistant in the Department of Biological Science and Medical Engineering at Southeast University in China. Her research focussed on bio-effects of photoexcited TiO2 nanometer particles and self-assembled thin films on cancer cells and bacteria. Her current interests are surface modification of biosensors, biomaterials and implants by self-assembly techniques. The aim is to control non-specific interactions with biomolecules and to induce specific biological interactions for optical sensing devices and biomaterials.
