Ankita completed her B.Sc. from the University of Rajhasthan and joined the integrated PhD program at IISER Kolkata in 2021. Ankita's current research focuses on developing advanced biosensing platforms by integrating Micro-Bubble Lithography (MBL) with spectroscopic techniques and microfluidic systems. She leverages MBL for high-precision surface patterning of functional polymers, nanomaterials, and biological systems such as viruses and bacteria, to create sensitive and selective biosensors. These sensors are designed to detect biological and chemical targets within microfluidic environments, utilizing fluorescence and colorimetric detection for real-time, label-free analysis. The research aims to enhance sensitivity, reduce sample volume requirements, and enable cost-effective, scalable fabrication of biosensors for biomedical diagnostics and environmental monitoring.
