Had the privilege of contributing to three distinct projects centered around the multifaceted applications of carbon dots. I acquired proficiency in a myriad of characterization techniques, equipping myself with invaluable skills essential for comprehensive material analysis. From spectroscopic methods to microscopy and beyond, I adeptly navigated an array of tools to unravel the intricate properties of carbon dots, furthering our understanding of their potential applications. Moreover, my role as a research trainee allowed me to refine my skill in scientific writing, as I meticulously documented experimental procedures, results, and analyses.

About

I am an MSc Analytical Chemistry student at the Manipal Institute of Technology. As a Research Trainee at the institute, I have been involved in a cutting-edge project on the origin and purification of fluorescence from carbon dots (CDs), which are promising nanomaterials for anticounterfeiting and supercapacitor applications. I have contributed to the publication of an article in Analyst, a prestigious journal, that provides a comprehensive review of the different purification approaches that have been adopted by various researchers and discusses their advantages, limitations, and challenges. I have also gained valuable laboratory skills and analytical techniques, such as ink formulation, fluorescence spectroscopy, and chromatography. I am eager to gain industrial experience in the aligned disciplines and make meaningful contributions.
