Instrumentation and Skills

Extensive experience in Wet Chemical synthesis techniques

As a nanotechnologist, synthesizing nanomaterials right from the scratch fascinates me! With my post-graduation and Ph.D. experience, I am well-versed in nanomaterial synthesis techniques - mainly chemical synthesis techniques such as hydrothermal, sol-gel, and coprecipitation. Various architectures based on the required dimensionality ( from 0 to 3D) are synthesized varying the growth parameters to suitable applications.
