RESEARCHER

Rupali is a driven and inquisitive researcher with a keen interest in the field of biomedical sciences working at the intersection of biology and nanotechnology. She completed her Master's in Biology in India, followed by an internship at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay. During her internship, she worked on drug delivery systems for the treatment of psoriasis and bioengineered drug loaded gelatin sponges for the prevention and treatment of oral and maxillofacial surgical complications.

In December 2022, Rupali joined the University of Lille to pursue her PhD. Her research focuses on "Graphene-based field effect transistors (gFETs) for small analyte sensing in air". Her work involves fabricating back-gated gFETs and developing aptamer-functionalized FETs to improve small molecule sensing in both solution and air. This multidisciplinary project aims to enable the detection of dopamine, an important endogenous biomarker, and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a widely used recreational drug.

Rupali's thesis is carried out in joint supervision with University of Lille and Danube Private University (DPU) in Austria. Her research steps include understanding the operating principles and manufacturing techniques of GFETs, fabricating and electrically characterizing GFETs, developing surface functionalization methods, and fabricating and validating sensors.

Currently, Rupali is actively involved in her research at DPU, contributing to advancements in graphene-based sensor technologies for biomedical applications as a DPU full time employee.
