Research summary
AI-generated

This bibliographic record appears to blend two distinct research lines: one focused on opioid receptor pharmacology (studying how drugs like kappa- and delta-opioid receptor agonists affect pain signaling and side effects), and another centered on graphene and 2D material engineering for sensors and electronic devices. The mixture of topics suggests the record may combine outputs from multiple researchers with similar names, so prospective students should verify which body of work belongs to the specific PI they are interested in. Publication activity shows a declining trend over the past decade after peaking around 2019-2020.

Publication output rose from 2017 to a peak around 2019-2020 (12-13 papers/year) and has since gradually declined to 3-6 papers/year in recent years.
