Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works primarily on developing biosensors and point-of-care diagnostic devices that use electrochemiluminescence (light produced by chemical/electrical reactions) to detect medical markers such as cardiac troponin, glycated hemoglobin, and disease-associated proteins. Much of the work centers on low-cost, cloth-based and microfluidic (tiny fluid-handling) devices for rapid testing outside a laboratory. More recent publications also touch on machine learning applications in high-energy physics.
