About me

Have a strong interdisciplinary background in synthesis of bio/polymeric nanocomposites and its application in electrochemical bio/sensors. Demonstrate experience in computational study of polymer and biomolecule through density function theory. Actively exploring integration of 3D-printing technologies using CADD for the fabrication of next-generation sensing platforms. The transferrable skill and techniques involve academic writing, use of high-end software, troubleshooting of experiments.

Interests: My doctoral research was focused on the development and application of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and biological recognition receptors such as antibodies for the fabrication of electrochemical sensors, specifically on disposable SPCE. This work aligns with my broader interest in creating innovative, cost-effective, and selective sensing platforms for biomedical and environmental applications. MIPs offer multiple applications ranging from synthesis of detection probe for diagnostics, bio-imaging, drug delivery, as well as for the environmental application. Also, MIP as a material provides us a flexibility to tailor the polymers which can be used for detection of the biomarkers even using UV/visible light/NIR radiation. MIPs has capability to develop a cost effective yet a sensitive, low limit of detection, broad sensing range-based sensing platform for selective and specific detection of the chosen analyte. As MIP is a bioinspired soft material it mimics the antigen-antibody interaction present in the nature. MIPs alongwith the nanostructures such as MoS2, rGO nanosheets, helps in enhancing its opto-electronic properties providing better results. MIPs have several other branches as well such as epitope imprinted polymer (EIP), surface imprinted polymer (SIP), etc for the detection of small molecules including the epitope region of the antigen, surface protein of bacteria. With a strong foundation in bio/material synthesis, characterization techniques, and sensor design, I am now eager to expand the scope of my work through collaborative and interdisciplinary research. I aim to contribute to the advancement of next-generation sensing technologies that are not only scientifically robust but also practical and scalable for real-world use.
