Diploma in Nanomaterial Characterisation Techniques Universirty of Oxford, London2024

My research focuses on the sustainable design and use of advanced and multifunctional nanomaterials for water quality engineering i.e., for the treatment of groundwater, drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater for removing legacy and emerging pollutants.  Also, I am interested in the fundamental understanding of interactions and effects of the next generation hierarchical nanomaterials on environmental and public health. I have an extensive experience working on magnetic nanomaterials and assessment of various factors affecting the magnetic properties of the nanomaterials and its potential application in various fields.
