Dr. Aarti Gaikwad
Research Associate
Ph.D. in Chemical Science
14+ Years of Work Experience
Research:
- Expertise in synthesizing nano-particulate and their thin films composed of carbon quantum dots and their composite.
- These thin films were also assessed for their potential applications as chemical sensors for Volatile organic compound (VOCs), Biosensor (for detection of fungal spores and bacteria from environment), cell labelling, supercapacitor and catalysis.
- Published 8 research paper in the international journal.
Contribution to Apex:
- Synthesis of the more than 7 micronutrient enriched fertiliser from Lab scale to larger scale production.
- Managed and conducted analysis of raw and finished materials, ensuring adherence to quality standards.
- Streamlined and created efficient procedures for research work by operating a wide range of analytical instruments, data collection and analysis.
- Managed, calibrated and maintained laboratory equipment, including gas chromatography (GC), High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).
