I am Kamruzzaman Joty, a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Southern Methodist University (SMU), Dallas). My research sits at the interface of nanotechnology, biophysics, and AI, where I design and engineer next-generation solid-state nanopores for single-molecule biosensing. This site highlights my research contributions, publications, and teaching experiences, as well as opportunities for collaboration.
“Engineering Hybrid Nanopores with Molecular Precision for Intelligent Single-Molecule Sensing”
Multilayer Nanopores via CT-CDB. Fabricating SiNx–2D hybrid nanopores using chemically tuned dielectric breakdown for tunable protein sensing and structural classification.
DNA Origami–Hybrid Nanopores. Enhancing protein capture and signal resolution by integrating DNA nanostructures inside solid-state pores for biomarker detection.
Dendrimer–Peptide Conjugate Analysis. Investigating translocation behavior of peptide-functionalized dendrimers under varied pH and salt conditions to understand nano–bio interactions.
ML-Based Event Classification. Applying AI models (e.g., XGBoost) on translocation features to accurately classify nanopore types and molecular event profiles.
November 2025 – Won People's Choice Award at the Three Minute Thesis competition SMU.
July 2025 – Served as instructor at the Governor’s Science & Technology Champions' Academy (GSTCA) at SMU.
