Research Areas

The focus of my team is to work on the development of polymeric and elastomeric composite material catering to the following segments:

I. Material Development, Fabrication and Application Study of Flexible Electronic Materials
II. Surface Modification of Various Nanoparticles (SMN) for Advanced Application Areas
III. Development of Sustainable Polymers (SP) based Composition for Minmization of Carbon Foot-print

Under the flexible electronics area , We are working towards solving problems related to affordable healthcare monitoring for point of care diagnostics. Some of the niche area in which my team is working is given below:
a. Development of Flexible Electronic Materials
b. Design and Development of Printed Electronic Materials for Monitoring Various Physiological Parameters Ranging from Motion Sensing to Cardiac Monitoring
c. Sensors for Point of Care Diagnostics
d. Smart Adhesives for Multifaceted Applications

Under SMN research vertical, we are working towards developing various surface engineered nanoparticles for multifaceted applications. SMN are critical component in modern day's composite materials.

Under SP research vertical, we are working towards synthesizing various functional polymers and their compositions for advanced applications.
