Organization: IIT Roorkee

Project: Fabrication of Metal Nitride Thin Film-based flexible and Biocompatible Supercapacitor

Period: Apr’21 to Till Date

  • Using the magnetron sputtering technique, we have successfully synthesized titanium nitride (TiN) and Niobium nitride (NbN) thin film on flexible substrates
  • The biocompatibility of the fabricated device was also investigated using an MTT assay
  • Due to their flexibility and exceptional biocompatibility, these fabricated supercapacitors can be used for energy storage in wearable and implantable electronic devices Outcome: Authored/Co-authored eleven peer-reviewed papers in reputable scientific journals and presented research findings at international conferences

Organizations: IIT Roorkee in collaboration with SRHU Dehradun

Project: Breast, Lung and Oral Cancer Detection using Exhale Breath

Period: Aug’19 to Jun’20

Role: Co-investor

  • We have designed a breath-based breast, lung, and oral cancer detector by exhaled breath and patented it at the Indian patent office, application number 201911030871
  • Clinical trials were done in one of India’s renowned cancer research institutes, CRI, SRHU, Dehradun
  • This clinical study was conducted on 150 patients and 57 controls. (Got a chance to work closely with oncologists and cancer patients)
  • The observations were quite encouraging, demonstrating a sensitivity of 96.11% and a specificity of 94.67% Outcome: Patent granted by Indian patent office (patent number 432433, date of grant: 22/05/2023). This technology is acquired by TATA medical center Kolkata

Project: Nanogenerators for Healthcare Application

Period: Dec’17 to Mar’21

  • We have fabricated a piezoelectric nanogenerator that can harvest the energy generated by the movement of the human heart and convert it to electrical energy
  • We have used piezoelectric polymer reinforced with second-phase nanomaterials Outcome: Patent filed at Indian patent office (application number 202011038412). Heal agnostic Innovations Pvt. Ltd. acquired this technology

Organizations: NIT Kurukshetra in collaboration JNU and DU, New Delhi

Project: Preparation of Graphene and its Derivatives for Bio-sensing Application

Period: 2015 to 2016

  • We have developed graphene using the chemical vapor deposition technique and graphene oxide using the modified Hummer’s method
  • Further, we have fabricated a graphene oxide-based glucose biosensor Outcome: M. Tech. dissertation
