Chandrika Sailendri Sao

Date of Joining as JRF, 20th July 2026

I am Chandrika Sailendri Sao, a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) working on an ANRF-funded research project at the National Institute of Technology Raipur (NIT Raipur). I hold an M.Sc. degree in Biosciences from Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur, and have qualified CSIR-NET with AIR 71 in life science and GATE XL in 2024. I have research experience in biosensing, biomedical imaging, optical imaging, microfluidics, and biomedical research methodologies. I have also undergone research training at IIT Bhilai, where I gained exposure to Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and biomedical imaging techniques.

My current research work focuses on the development of biosensors and microfluidic technologies for biomedical applications, with an emphasis on biosensing and digital microfluidics. My research interests include biosensors, biomedical engineering, optical imaging, microfluidics, digital microfluidics, biomedical instrumentation, and diagnostic technologies. I am passionate about developing innovative, cost-effective, sensitive, and reliable biomedical technologies that can contribute to advancements in healthcare, disease detection, and biomedical research.
