Summary
Research Interest
I am a research associate in the 'Polymers & Microfluidics' group with a multidisciplinary research experience spanning biophysics and chemistry, optics & spectroscopy, and soft matter. I worked towards development and application of advanced spectroscopic methods and techniques for clinical diagnostics and understanding biomolecular interactions. My current research interest combines molecular spectroscopy and its applications, to fundamental research in soft matter physics. The work area expands to molecular engineering and thermodynamics of multi-component colloid and surfactant systems to interrogate their phase behaviour and physicochemical properties and their applications in improving cleaning efficiency of formulations to develop sustainable
predictive cleaning and efficient anti-microbial agents.
