About
Dr. Mikella E. Farrell is a leading innovator in the field of plasmonic nanosensors and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), with a focus on developing advanced substrates for real-world chemical detection. Her seminal work on "plasmonic calligraphy" (2014, 45 citations) introduced a groundbreaking approach for creating multiplexed, charge-selective SERS substrates. This technique enables the simultaneous, chemically selective detection of multiple target analytes from complex mixtures—a critical capability for applications in environmental monitoring, security, and biomedical diagnostics. By engineering nanostructured surfaces that discriminate between charged species, Dr. Farrell has addressed a fundamental challenge in SERS: achieving specificity in heterogeneous samples. Her contributions have laid the foundation for next-generation sensors that combine high sensitivity with molecular selectivity, pushing the field toward practical, field-deployable devices. Beyond this landmark paper, her work continues to shape the design of plasmonic materials, earning recognition for its impact on analytical chemistry and nanophotonics. Dr. Farrell’s research exemplifies how creative nanofabrication can solve pressing detection problems, making her a key figure in the advancement of SERS technology.
