Biography
I am currently a Research Assistant and Master’s thesis researcher in the Materials in Health Technology research group. My research interests focus on carbon-based nanomaterials and the development of electrochemical sensing platforms for improved and more accurate neurotransmitter detection.
Teaching
I have assisted in laboratory exercises for bachelor-level courses in materials engineering.
Research
During my time in the Materials in Health Technology research group, my research has centered on fundamental electrochemical techniques, including cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry, to investigate the electrochemical properties of various sensor materials. In addition, I have worked with carbon nanomaterials, particularly carbon nanotubes. I am currently developing an electrochemical sensor for the simultaneous detection of dopamine and serotonin using chiral carbon-based nanomaterials.
