Research Interests
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 utilised for spontaneous conduction mechanism. Environmental monitoring through gas detection involves high detection rate and detectvity through novel discovered concepts that uses multifunctional approach to establish atom-molecular interaction effective at wider band of change in surroundings.
