Applications are invited from interested and motivated candidates for the posts of Junior Research Fellow (JRF)/Project Associate-1 to work on a research project funded by SCIENCE & ENGINEERING RESEARCH BOARD (SERB) under the Supervision of Dr. Partha Sarathi Addy, Department of Chemistry , BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus, Rajasthan.
Applications are invited from highly motivated and research-oriented JRF students for Ph. D. program in the Department of Chemistry, BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus (Rajasthan).
We will perform computer simulations to explore self-assembly of the colloids covered with DNA. JRF will design the model and perform numerical simulations. She/he will also write the research paper in indexed journals conferences, and patents.
In this research proposal, we are proposing development of an efficient 2D materials for trace amount detection of explosives via surface enhance Raman sensing. Initially, 2D materials will be used for the detection of Raman probe molecules. After that, the same material will be undertaken for the sensing of chemical and biochemical compounds.
