Experienced in the field of green nanocomposites as electrocatalysts for the detection of biomolecules and fuel cell applications. Trained in designing nanocomposites using green synthetic and electrochemical (galvanostatic) techniques to modify various electrode surfaces in an energy-efficient fashion for fuel cell applications and sensing picomolar levels of dopamine in human urine samples. Thereby, resolving issues related to energy as well as advancing in the field of medical diagnosis. Subsequently, interpreted the mechanism behind the electrodeposition by using computational methods (gaussian) and experimental techniques that can be extended to manufacture similar nanocomposites in the future for various catalytic purposes as well as sensing vital biomolecules in the human body.
