Current Work:

The early and facile diagnosis of mosquito borne diseases are becoming crucial with regard to the increasing vector population and affected cases all over the world. My research is on the development of label free sensors for the detection of Chikungunya, Dengue and Malaria. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and optical fibre based sensing are used for the early and rapid detection of these diseases.
