Research

 

Our research interests center within the philosophy of “science @ the interface”. Engineering the interfaces of nanomaterials for making them smart and functional, and developing new functional solids are highly intriguing. Combinational multi-stacking of nanomaterials can lead to new and unprecedented phenomena; those in turn help to the development of novel sensors and devices. Moreover, interfacing novel nanostructures with conventional materials/structures can deliver energy efficient hybrids where they will be useful in the fields of energy and environment.  

 

Specific interests include;

 

• Design and development of novel nanostructures made from 1D and 2D nanomaterials.

• Design, and the structure – property correlations of artificial and bio-inspired structures built from nano building blocks.  

• Controlled assembly of nanomaterials for designing large area circuitries and sensors.

• Nanofluids and microfluidic devices.

• Magneto-dielectric devices.

• Bio-material interfaces.
