Paper-based Fuel Cells
Development and fabrication of portable electrochemical energy devices for nano-micro-milli-watt power generation. These devices include paper-based microfluidic fuel cells. The applications of paper-based fuel cells would be to serve as a disposable powering source for low-power consuming digital/ electronic devices. We have employed these paper-based energy devices for different powering applications: driving ring oscillator, powering digital thermometer, glucometer and LEDs.

Electrochemical Bio-sensors
Electrochemical Bio-sensors
Development of electrochemical bio-sensors and self-powered sensors for healthcare applications for quantitative analysis of different biomarkers for healthcare monitoring pertaining to cancer, liver and kidney diseases.
Here we are targeting small biomolecules such as, uric acid, urea, dopamine, lactate, creatinine for screening and monitoring of different liver and kidney-related diseases. In addition we are also developing biosensors for the detection of microRNAs for early screening of ovarian and oral cancer. We target the detection in primarily in urine, saliva and sweat to facilitate non-invasive point-of-care testing.
We also develop readout-based electrochemical sensors by integrating portable sensors with readout electronics leading to user-friendly sensing platforms.
