Research Interests

  • My research group is dedicated to advancing Point of Care (POC) Technology by developing innovative detection processes for Biomarkers. These advances pave the way for designing accurate, rapid, and user-friendly POC diagnostics that bring essential medical testing to patient bedsides and remote settings. Our emphasis on Biomaterials and Integrated Sensor Technologies enables the creation of cutting-edge materials for developing detection techniques. Our work scope also covers Drug Discovery, covering drug screening, characterization, and testing.
  • We focus on Nanotechnology for tuning atomic and molecular properties, enabling the fabrication of advanced macroscale products with enhanced functionality. Through integration of Informatics, Data Science and Analytics, we process complex datasets from simulations, health records, and sensor outputs. The deliverables of research include understanding biological systems, monitoring health, and guiding personalized therapy. Our research values both Experimental and Theoretical Methods.
  • Our goals are to create accessible and affordable Healthcare Technologies to communities everywhere.
