Research Interest
Abha’s group works on various aspects of nano and micro systems to study interfaces between different physical phenomena at nanoscale.
- Multidimensional carbon lattices including graphene, carbon nanotubes and quantum dots are being investigated for optoelectronic, gas sensing, self powered as well as actuation devices at large scale.
- The device design paradigm is established through bio mimicking of natural systems for self sustained network where two dimensional van der Waals interfaces are largely utilized for spontaneous conduction mechanism.
- Environmental monitoring through gas detection involves high detection rate and detectivity through novel discovered concepts that uses multifunctional approach to establish atom-molecular interaction effective at wider band of change in surroundings.
