About
My present area of research focuses on creating aptasensors for PoC healthcare monitoring as well as development of electrochemical transistors for early detection of plant viruses. I have a keen fascination with investigating how nature designs various bio-recognition structures and finding innovative ways to integrate them with modern bioelectronics and nanomaterial-based platforms to tackle real-world issues. I am also interested in interdisciplinary research related to development of portable and implantable bioelectronics that have real-time applications, capable of making a positive impact in both therapeutics and environmental sustainability domains.
