Main area of work
My study mainly focuses on the synthesis, characterization and various applications of metallic and magnetic nanoparticles including hyperthermia therapy and cell culture. I have Synthesized different kind of nanomaterials like CoPt, FePt, cobalt ferrite, nickel ferrite, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, ZnO, iron core gold shell, Nickel, gold, silver conducting polymer etc. Recently I am concentrating on ‘Synthesis of DNA and micelles templated magnetic nanoparticles and their necessary surface functionalization for biomedical application’ funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), New Delhi. Particles I have prepared have potentiality in technological and biological applications in the manufacturing of data storage device, in Hyperthermia therapy for cancer treatment, in biosensor fabrication etc. I am trying to fabricate one instrument which will be useful for hyperthermia therapy applying those nanoparticles.
Instrumental Laboratory Experiences
