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.
One MPhil/PhD position is available for an NRC funded project starting immediately. Call or email for more information (0712312997; taashani@sci.cmb.ac.lk)
