His main areas of research are magnetic nanotechnology, multifunctional materials and materials for extreme environments. My major current research activities are related to nanotechnology; in particular, the development of novel nanomaterials for innovative systems and devices. I focus on magnetic nanomaterials, especially functionalized magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic nanoparticles based composites for sustainability, energy, bioX, Lab-on-a-chip and soft robotic applications. My work is targeted towards extreme service environments. The structure-processing-property-performance paradigm of materials science and engineering is fully exploited. · Nanotechnology: Nanomaterials, nanosystems. · Magnetic nanomaterials for sustainability energy bio soft robotics Lab on a chip · Structural materials for energy efficient extreme environments
