Nanomaterials exhibit exceptional properties at the nanoscale, making them ideal for advanced applications. Our research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of 2D/3D nanomaterials and plasmonic metal nanoparticles. We also explore semiconductor quantum dots, plasmonic molybdenum-based quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles, and carbon-based materials such as graphene and carbon nitride nanosheets, as well as fluorescent graphene quantum dots. These materials support a wide range of modifications for use in biomolecular probe fabrication and beyond. 

This research focuses on leveraging nanotechnology and functional nanomaterials to develop innovative, on-site diagnostic biosensors for healthcare settings for viral diseases, Lyme and tick-borne diseases, cancer biomarkers and neurogenerative diseases diagnostics. We specialize in designing nanomaterials-bioconjugates for high-performance biosensing, bioassays, and optical imaging. By tuning nanomaterials' surface chemistry, we enhance their sensitivity, selectivity, and stability.

Our work incorporates cutting-edge techniques like photoluminescence sensing and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aiming to revolutionize diagnostic capabilities for point-of-care application.

A plethora source of energy that is ubiquitous in our environment and rarely tapped is magnetic noise (energy) arising from electrical power systems and numerous electronic devices. Similar to sunlight and wind energy, this abundant electromagnetic waste energy can be renewably harvested and converted into useful electricity by using electromagnetic nanogenerators. 

We are exploring novel strategies to fabricate efficient and sustainable magnetic nanogenerators for harvesting low-frequency ambient stray magnetic energy. The long-term goal is to generate alternative renewable energy that can benefit modern society on a sustainable scale while also contributing to the net zero worldwide initiative.
