Research Areas
Online monitoring of structural integrity of components
Over time, ships’ steel undergoes damage that starts as microscopic changes, eventually reducing the ship’s life. The stress and pressure of ships cause damage. This damage can lead to catastrophic failure of the structure, which can cause loss of life and property. Currently, the most common way to inspect ships for damage is to dry-dock them. However, this process is expensive and time-consuming, and it can take ships out of service for days or weeks.
We are working on ways to monitor the structural health of ships in real time. This would allow for early detection of damage and help prevent catastrophic failures.
Sensing And Remediation of Heavy Metal Ions From Drinking Water
Heavy metal ions are a major pollutant in water, and their presence can have serious health consequences. Traditional methods for detecting and removing heavy metal ions are expensive and time-consuming. However, electrochemical sensing is a more sensitive, selective, and cost-effective method.
The use of electrochemical sensing and nanoparticles for the removal of heavy metal ions from water is a promising area of research. These methods have the potential to provide a more efficient and cost-effective way to treat water that is contaminated with heavy metal ions.
Bio-based Eco-friendly Anti-corrosion Coatings Using Graphene
Bio-based materials, such as linseed oil, can be used to create graphene-based coatings that are both environmentally friendly and effective. Linseed oil is a natural resin that has been used for centuries to protect wood from moisture and corrosion. When combined with graphene, linseed oil forms a strong and flexible coating that can effectively protect metal from corrosion.
Bio-based graphene coatings are a promising new technology for preventing corrosion. These coatings are environmentally friendly, effective, and durable. They have the potential to revolutionize the way that corrosion is prevented, and they could lead to significant savings in terms of both environmental impact and economic cost.
