Rajesh Sardar works in materials science, developing tiny engineered materials at the nanometer scale (nanoparticles, nanocrystals, and quantum wells) made from metals, semiconductors, and perovskites. A major focus is on 'plasmonic' materials—metals and metal oxides that interact strongly with light—and using them both for energy-related applications (such as generating hydrogen) and for building ultrasensitive biosensors that can detect disease markers like antibodies and cardiac proteins at extremely low concentrations.
