Nikoloz received his Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh. The research, which he carried out under the supervision of Dr. Shigeru Amemiya was related to development of nanogap voltammetry. The method was designed to locally monitor and study rapid electron transfer reactions on macroscopic substrates using nanofabricated probes and obtain information about thermodynamic as well as kinetic parameters of the reactions taking place at the surfaces of nanostructured carbon materials.
Currently, his research in the Bard group focuses on the application of scanning electrochemical microscopy to measure electrochemical activity at the level of single metal nanoparticles which have been subject of intense scientific interest due to their applications in electrocatalysis and sensing.
