Harnessing Carbon Nanotube Arrays for Sensor Technologies

Jazmín Renteria Gonzalez, Syed Kamrul Islam, Showmik Singha

University of Missouri, Summer 2025 - Present

VACNT forests, or Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube forests, are structured arrays of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown perpendicular to a substrate by means of chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Due to their exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, our current research focuses on their potential for biosensing purposes. At the AVDL Laboratory, we are specifically exploring how substrate circuit design influences transduction efficiency, with the broader goal of integrating VACNTs into a System-on-Chip (SoC) platform for advanced, miniaturized biosensors.

Electronics Engineering Intern, NASA Langley Research Center

Summer 2022, Summer 2023

I was a NASA intern for 2 consecutive summers, working in the Electronics Systems Branch and Aeronatuics Systems Engineering Branch, respectively. During my first summer, my intern project was focused on designing an antenna energy harvesting circuit that displays a signal when electromagnetic fields are close to it. For my second summer, my intern projects were 1) designing a PCB design for a data acquisition system, and 2) programming parameters for high-performance RF radio modems and sensors for long-range testing for aeronatuics projects.
