My research is mainly focused on the development of biosensors using functionalized, bioconjugated, fluorescent silica nanoparticles. Surface characterization of the synthesized nanomaterials and the study of their adsorption behavior are other areas of interest. In addition, the following research avenues are explored in different research projects.
Another different area I’m currently exploring is chemistry education research and practice.
A vacancy for a PhD position is available at the Department of Chemistry, University of Colombo. The project involves the development of nanomaterials for quantitative detection of microorganisms with the prime focus of developing a biosensor. This project is funded by the National Research Council (NRC).
The candidate is preferred to have a Special Degree in Chemistry or equivalent from a recognized university/institution.
