About: Dr. Mohammad Ashfaq
Dr. Mohammad Ashfaq is working as Assistant Professor, School of Life Sciences, BS Abdur Rahman Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, India. Ha has completed Ph.D. in Biotechnology from joint collaboration of Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India and Banasthali University, Banasthali, India. Prior to joined BS Abdur Rahman Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, India, He worked as a Post-Doctoral-Researcher in Polymer Microneedle Lab, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing, China. Dr. Ashfaq research focuses mainly interdisciplinary research involving on nanomaterials and biological sciences such as synthesis, characterization and various applications of nanomaterials/carbon nanofibers and polymeric composite based materials. The leading field of science that are relevant to his area of interest consist of nanotechnology, nano-bioscience, biomedical applications of polymeric composite/nanotechnology (newer antibiotics and novel wound dressing materials), nano-cytotoxicity, biosensor, controlled release drug delivery system (polymeric microneedles), nanoparticle systems of metals and metal oxides and its interaction of plants and animal cells. Dr. Ashfaq has wide experience of handling various characterization tools such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Zeta-sizer to investigate zeta potentials, and particle size/agglomeration behavior of nanoparticles/carbon based materials in liquid media, thermo-gravimetric analysis, x-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area analyzer, fourier transformed spectroscopy and atomic field microscopy (AFM) for the characterization of different materials. He has published more than 25 research articles, two patents (filed), and more than 10 book chapters.
