I am a Materials Chemist with a strong educational background in Biotechnology and a PhD in Chemistry (Analytical).
My specialization revolves around the development, characterization, and customization of inorganic nanomaterials, with a focus on their integration into pioneering applications within the fields of Energy storage, Materials Engineering and Wearable technology.
My passion as an aspiring Nanotechnology researcher lies at the intersections of materials science, wearable technology and point-of-care theragnostic systems. I am highly motivated to contribute to advancements in healthcare by developing portable theragnostic systems that provide individuals with real-time health monitoring and efficient point-of-care testing capabilities.
Currently, my research is focused on creating portable, user-friendly, non-invasive healthcare monitoring devices. These devices are designed to monitor the progression of chronic physiological ailments such as cancer, diabetes, and physiological stress using electrochemical sensors and miniaturized visual detection methods. By leveraging these technologies, I aim to provide patients with convenient and reliable monitoring solutions that can contribute to better management of their health conditions. I am enthusiastic about exploring new opportunities that allow me to apply my expertise in materials chemistry, nanotechnology, and biosensing to contribute to developing groundbreaking wearable technology and point-of-care theragnostic systems. With a solid commitment to research excellence, I am eager to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to drive innovation in the field and make a meaningful impact on patient care and well-being.
Ongoing projects
Development of high entropy metal oxide nanomaterials with functional properties for scalable energy storage devices.
An innovative wearable platform for real-time tumor monitoring and sonodynamic therapy using hafnium oxide nanoparticles. HfO2 act as sonosensitizers, which, when exposed to ultrasound, can effectively eliminate cancer cells
Nanoclusters from plasmonic transition metals such as Gold, silver, copper are popular for their fluorescent and biocompatible properties. Here we reported a fluorescent Molybdenum nanocluster, an alternative to its cousin MoS2, that was implemented in cellular bioimaging.
Electrospinning is among the most popular method for synthesis of metal oxide nanofibers. Here we tried an alternative solution in a two step low temperature annealing method in a solvent-free environment. The metal oxide composition of CeMoEuOxide resulted in a fluorescent nanomaterial solution that was employed in sensing hydrogen peroxide in biological samples.
Optimizing the stability of terbium in its 4+ oxidation state is a challenge. In this work, we show that in a combination of cerium, molybdenum and europium, terbium can be stabilized in a dual oxidation state in the metal oxide structure. The resulting nonmaterial formed obeys a hexagonal crystal lattice in a triangular nanoparticle. The green fluorescence emerging from the nanomaterial solution can be exploited for various catalytic or sensing applications.
