Research Areas:
Exhaled breath, urine and faces analysis are carried out using two commercial electronic noses and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) to identify biomarkers. These studies are used to investigate the early detection of various cancers and monitor medication in mental illnesses. Another topic is the study of micron size particles adhesion to solid surfaces. In this research we employ atomic force microscopy to measure the adhesion forces. A third research topic is related to the study of therapeutic characterization of plant extracts. In addition to the experimental studies we also develop theoretical modeling of various systems. These include the development of classification models using machine learning and deep neural networks that are used in analysis of experimental data. Finally, we carry out large scale simulations of molecular systems using molecular dynamics and perform electronic structure calculations for molecular characterization using density functional theory, DFT.
