  • LSPR
  • Immunoassays
  • Nanotechnology

Current Work:

As a researcher, I always wonder and dwell in the fundamentals of science and its miracles & endless applications. As I belong to biosensors laboratory, my focus is to integrate the physics principles for biological application. In brief, I work with colourful nanoparticles (Plasmonic nanoparticles) for identification of biospecies present in liquid samples using light guides (optical fibers).
