Biography
I'm Dr. G. Muthukumar, and I completed my Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, under Dr. J. Arockia Selvi, Professor, SRM Institute of Science and Technology-KTR. The creation of highly selective biochemical sensing devices is my main area of research. For instance, finding all the analytes in a single sample could be challenging. In contrast, sample preparation and separation may be necessary for individual analyte detection with high selectivity and sensitivity. To make the devices work better by being more sensitive and selective while reducing interference, we might need to use special nanomaterials like 2-dimensional layered inorganic materials and polymer composites. I am primarily interested in synthesizing nanocomposites and biocompatible nanomaterials for applications such as biosensors, catalysis, energy harvesting and storage, biodegradable electronics, and flexible electronics.
