(Bio)Chemical Sensing: We design and fabricate  (bio)chemical sensors for the detection of analytes of industrial, biological, and environmental significance. Our goal is to achieve high sensitivity, selectivity, and label-free detection by harnessing the unique interfacial properties of nanomaterials, enabling rapid and reliable analytical decision-making. 

Rational Nanozyme Development : Our research focuses on the development of artificial enzymes that functionally and structurally mimic natural enzymes for use in colorimetric sensing and environmental catalysis. These nanozyme-based systems provide stable, low-cost, and scalable alternatives to natural enzymes, enabling efficient detection and degradation of pollutants and advancing sustainable environmental monitoring technologies.

Expertise of the Laboratory: 

• Molecular Plasmonics (LSPR, SERS) based sensor development

• Shape-controlled synthesis and Ultrathin silica coating of plasmonic nanoparticles

• Colorimetric sensing 

• Nanozymes
