Anupma Thakur's research centers on MXenes—a class of two-dimensional materials made from layered metal carbides and nitrides—exploring their synthesis, structure, and electrochemical properties for uses such as energy storage, sensing, water treatment, and membrane technology. The work spans fundamental materials characterization (e.g., charge transport, structural defects) to applied devices like batteries, biosensors, and desalination membranes. Prospective students would engage with a highly active, collaborative research program producing a wide range of applied and fundamental studies on 2D materials.
