Hi, 

I'm Dr. Ashutosh Kumar, a Ph.D. from IIT Guwahati, doing post Ph. D. research at the University of Notre Dame, USA

Expertise

While studying integrated M. Tech (B. Tech + M. Tech) in "Nanotechnology," I have found myself interested in the biomedical domain of nanotechnology. With optimistic expectations from material engineering for healthcare devices, I have devoted my research in the area of biosensors to develop affordable diagnostic devices.

Talking about my expertise, I am proficient in nanomaterial synthesis, material characterization, functionalization, and data analysis. Moreover, I am a professional operator of the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM-Jeol 2100F). During device fabrication, I can determine the morphologies of nanomaterials of sensor probes and study the in-depth material properties such as Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), elemental mapping, line mapping, dark-field imaging with my technical aptitude. Also, I am an operator and data analyzer of X-ray diffractometer (XRD), UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Electrochemical analyzer, etc. I have a reasonable understanding of various electrochemical techniques, too, such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), Square wave voltammetry (SWV), Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), Chronoamperometery, and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Considering the fortitude of material engineering in the biomedical arena and my expertise, I can work in interdisciplinary research with a team spirit.
