Vijaykumar Bodarya
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Chemical Engineering
Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
I am a researcher dedicated to pioneering solutions in material science with a specific focus on sustainability and interdisciplinary approaches. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering with a specialization in Materials Engineering Research & Processing. My work spans various domains, including the development of advanced sensor technologies for impurity detection, optical biosensing, and microfluidic chip-based sensing. I specialize in materials synthesis and characterization, spectroscopic analysis, and lab-on-a-chip technology, aiming to drive impactful advancements in engineering applications through innovative research.
My research experience includes developing real-time monitoring technologies for critical parameters such as pH and conductivity in mRNA manufacturing, integrating biosensors with various measurement techniques (fluorophore, electrochemical, and HPLC). I have also utilized UV/Vis and Raman spectroscopy for monitoring mRNA concentration and residual impurities, contributing to quality control in continuous production processes.
I am also working in parallel on nanostructured materials, particularly Nanoporous Anodic Alumina (NAA), to explore its potential for applications in sensing, filtration, and surface modification.
Beyond my research, I have contributed to the academic community as a faculty member, teaching fundamental and advanced concepts in physics across semiconductor devices, Ray & wave optics, thermodynamics, Newtonian/classical mechanics, modern physics, nuclear physics, electrostatics and electromagnetism.
I am passionate about using my expertise to address challenges in advanced materials and engineering applications, and I am continuously seeking opportunities to collaborate and innovate in this ever-evolving field.
