About

My research interests focus on microfluidics, point-of-care diagnostics, paper-based analytical devices (PADs), Lab-on-a-CD technology, centrifugal microfluidics, biosensors, colorimetric sensing, smartphone-assisted diagnostics, biomedical instrumentation, image processing for analytical applications, and AI-enabled image analysis for quantitative colorimetric detection. I am particularly interested in developing low-cost, portable, and rapid diagnostic platforms for healthcare applications, including whole blood analysis and biomarker detection.
