- Profile
-
I am educated in chemical engineering (B.E., Pune, 2000) and materials science (MS and PhD, Cincinnati, 2003) followed by post-doctoral experience in inorganic chemistry (Delaware and Nottingham, 2003-2008). After taking up a short-term lectureship in Chemistry (Nottingham Trent University), I became a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering (Strathclyde, 2010-15). I then moved to 91直播 to take up a position of Senior Lecturer (2016-17), and then became a Professor of Sustainable Chemical and Materials Engineering (2018). At 91直播, I am a member of the department鈥檚 leadership team.
I am currently EPSRC Fellow in Manufacturing and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. I lead the with a vision to develop sustainable routes to functional nanomaterials. The group focusses on the discovery of bioinspired nanomaterials, assessing their scalability and developing manufacturing technologies for energy, environmental, biomedical and engineering applications. This research has produced a book, 70+ publications (h index of 34, over 3800 total citations), 50+ presentations at conferences and a number of inventions.
I am a committee member of the RSC's and in the past has played a key role in a number of national and international networks as well as conference organisation, e.g. EPSRC鈥檚 , , EPSRC鈥檚 and ACS .
Along with various funding awards, I am proud to receive the Dedicated Outstanding Mentor award four-times in recognition of mentoring skills that helped mentees 鈥渕ake a significant transition in knowledge, work, or thinking鈥. I have also received the Teaching Excellence Award twice and SuperVisionary awards for the recognition for all-round supervision.

Research in the group undertakes the using biologically inspired green routes.
In our new , the aim is to address the highly sought aspect of how to translate the understanding of biominerals into new green manufacturing methods. We cover aspects from the discovery of new green synthesis methods all the way to considering their commercial manufacturing routes.
The group aims to demonstrate potential of green methods for nanomaterials synthesis by realisation of their real-life applications. Current projects are focussed on developing application of green nanomaterials in four distinct sectors:- (e.g. carbon capture and battery electrodes),
- (e.g. decontamination of water and air)
- (e.g. metal or enzyme supported catalysts)
- (e.g. drug delivery systems).
A significant research focus is on developing the science underpinning scale-up of green nanomaterials, thus enabling their large-scale manufacturing.
Focus is on increasing technology readiness level (TRL) for new developments and delivering technologies that are ready for commercialisation.New technologies invented
