Research Interests
The main focuses of my research are:
- Development of a new method for production of pure, highly magnetic, binary alloyed superparamagnetic nanoparticles, which can be used in the areas of nanotechnology, medicine and microelectronics.
- Development and testing of an efficient thermophoretic precipitator that can be used in conjunction with modern instruments for aerosol research including diffusion batteries and particle counters.
- I have also been investigating the several important issues related to filtration of very small aerosol particles, including nano-scale particles such as influence of the particle shape and velocity on the efficiency of conventional and oil coated filters.
