His research is at the intersection of bioanalytical chemistry and nanofabrication, with an emphasis on exploration, development, and application of thin-film nanofluidic platforms. Chemically tailored nanopore single-molecule sensors are a prominent focus area for fundamental and applied studies. Before joining URI, Dr. Dwyer completed his Ph.D. in physical chemistry at the University of Toronto, and postdoctoral fellowships in biophysics and applied biophysics at the Max Born Institute (Berlin) and the University of British Columbia. Dr. Dwyer is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award.
