Dr. Avishek Pal

About

My research interests include developing high-performance thin film composite (TFC) as well as thin film nanocomposite (TFN) type positively/negatively charged nanofiltration (NF) membranes. My focus is also on investigating the structure-property-performance relationships of different mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) with high-throughput, anti-bacterial, anti-fouling and radiation resistant features for sustainable ultrafiltration (UF) purposes. The field that I'm currently harnessing is the unprecedented potential of the G2D-based membranes for next-generation health-care technology.
