Abstract:

My research focuses on developing low-power, portable, and sustainable nanostructured devices to advance healthcare, environmental monitoring, and electrocatalysis. Through the integration of advanced polymers, quantum and nanomaterials, electrochemical techniques, and plasma-based surface treatments, these devices enhance biosensing capabilities, improve electrocatalytic efficiency, and increase recyclability to help reduce electronic waste. Designed in a lab-on-a-chip format, they perform complex biochemical tasks, including the separation, identification, and modification of biological particles such as extracellular vesicles. Demonstrated applications include disease diagnosis, drug delivery, and regenerative medicine, positioning these systems to drive innovations in personalized medicine, medical therapies, threat detection, and pollution control, all while minimizing the environmental impact of electronic devices.
