Graphene-Based Electrochemical Sensors for Biomolecules (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780128153949)

Dr.Alagarsamy Pandikumar is currently working as a Scientist in CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute, Karaikudi, India. He obtained his Ph.D in Chemistry (2014) from the Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai. His doctoral research focused on synthesis, characterization of plasmonic nanocomposite materials and its application of photo-physical/chemical properties in photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis and dye-sensitized solar cells. He successfully completed his post-doctoral fellowship tenure (2014-2016) at the University of Malaya, Malaysia under high Impact Research Grant. During his post-doctoral research, he developed several graphene based metal, metal oxide, polymeric nanocomposites for electrochemical sensors and dye-sensitized solar cells applications. He was appointed as a Research Assistant Professor in Department of Chemistry &Research Institute at SRM University, India. His current research involves the development of novel materials with graphene, graphitic carbon nitrides, transition metal chalconides in combination to metals, metal oxides, polymers and carbon nanotubes for photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis dye-sensitized solar cells and electrochemical sensor applications. His results outcomes were documented in 95 in peer reviewed journals including 8 review articles; among them seven of the key articles have been cited more than 50 times and also have 1600 citations with the h-index of 24. On other side, he served as Guest Editor for a special issue in Materials Focus journal and edited 4 books for TransTech Publishers, Switzerland.
