As a seasoned materials scientist/electrochemist with approximately 10+ years of experience, I bring a wealth of expertise in material synthesis, characterisation, and precise physical/chemical property measurements. My proficiency extends to the development of cutting-edge sensors, exemplifying my passion for innovative research and technological advancements. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a keen ability to design novel materials and optimise their properties for diverse applications, ranging from environmental sustainability to healthcare advancements. My track record of successful projects underscores my commitment to pushing the boundaries of materials science, and I am eager to leverage my skills and insights to contribute meaningfully to future research and development in this field.
My research focuses on the synthesis of transition metal/rare earth-based aerogels, novel metal oxides combined with green-synthesised carbon sources for biosensors, and the functional application of polysaccharides and related enzymes. We have taken an integrated approach combining modern techniques in genomics and computational science to address the functional roles of polysaccharides and related enzymes. The central theme of our research includes the following topics：
1. Transition Metal Carbide – MXenes: Synthesis, Properties, and Analysis of Its Electrocatalytic Performance for Overall Water Splitting.
2. New application of synthetics and glycoconjugates in biotechnology.
3. Synthesis of novel organic solvent-based metal vanadates anchored with different carbon sources.
4. Real-time monitoring of hazardous pollutants, COVID-19 effective drugs, and pharmaceutical drugs.
5. Micro-nano needle preparation for rapid and sensitive electrochemical analysis.
Environmental pollutants are considered a significant problem for the global environment in their current state. Living organisms are threatened by overdosage and the improper discharge of pharmaceutical drugs into aquatic bodies. These pollutants directly interact with the surface and subsurface of aquatic and terrestrial bodies, severely damaging flora and fauna. Electrochemical sensors can be used as a useful tool to analyse and monitor these pollutants. Electrochemical determination is based on the electrode materials and their active interaction with pollutants, where the electrode is evaluated for novelty, performance, and cost-effectiveness and must be environmentally friendly.
