Research scientist at Ecomen Laboratories developing silicone coatings, with prior medical-device work on glucose-detection dyes and diagnostic strips.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Ecomen Laboratories Private Limited, I plan and conduct research on silicone composites and develop formulations for protective, hydrophobic, antifog, release, soft-touch, and barrier coatings. I also conduct stability and ageing studies and work with analytical instruments including GC-MS, ICP-MS, LC-MS, FTIR, UV, and FE-SEM.
At Jana MedTech Private Limited, I worked on boronic acid derivatives used as dyes for glucose detection in HbA1c devices. I contributed to Aina device designs, including lateral-flow strips for finger-stick testing, and gained experience with bioconjugation and multiplex biomarker detection.
My Ph.D. research at National Institute of Technology Karnataka focused on graphene oxide nanocomposites for adsorption and catalysis. I synthesized and characterized materials, studied catalytic reactions and wastewater adsorption, and published research on these topics.
My work spans chemical research, materials characterization, medical-device formulation, and technical documentation. I hold an Indian patent for a method of forming a magnetic mixed ferrite graphene nanocomposite.
