Background

About Sofia Sandhu

I am a material scientist with an expertise in synthesizing nanomaterials such as highly reactive faceted metal oxide nanoparticles and 2D nanomaterials using green solvents such as ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents. Currently, I am working on fabricating biodegradable sensor devices and the quantitative as well as qualitative analysis of their degradation processes, ensuring they meet stringent environmental standards Research Experience : Expertise in various synthesis routes for the synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles, 2D nanomaterials and Ionic Liquids (Energetic, Non-Energetic and Deep Eutectic Solvents (Magnetic and Non-magnetic)- contributing to the development of sustainable material solutions; nanofiber synthesis for fiber based sensor devices, formulation of metallic inks, ionogel based dielectric inks - underscoring my ability to bridge material science with practical applications in sensing technologies and degradation studies of various electronic devices and the environmental impact of new material technologies - guiding the electronic industry towards more sustainable routes Analytical expertise : XRD, FT-IR, SEM, FE-SEM, TEM, HR-TEM, EDX, UV-VIS DRS, BET, XPS, ICP-OES, NMR, CHN, EPR, Photoluminescence, Adsorption, and Kinetic Studies and electrospinning Computing expertise : FullProf, Origin Pro 9, ChemDraw Ultra 12.0, CASA XPS, Minitab, Design Expert, C, C++ and FORTRAN.
