Research Interests:

My research is focused on the synthesis of carbon nanotubes, graphene, semiconductor thin films, 3D nanomaterials, and dye synthesized solar cells (DSSC), examining their useful physical properties, and modifying those properties for practical applications in mechanical, electronic and optoelectronic devices. I am also interested in other aspects of the nanotechnology field of study for environmental, industrial, biological, and medical applications. In medical science applications graphene, metallic nanoparticles, and carbon nanotubes have been used as drug delivery agents for viruses, micelles, liposomes, dendrimers, and polymers. Also interested in how silver nanoparticles and gold nanorods have multifunctional characteristics that are being used in the field of cancer research and other medical research.
