Education

Pierre and Marie Curie University

Ph.D. in Experimental Plasma Physics

Passout Year: 2013

During my doctoral thesis work, I have worked on the plasma polymerization of different organic precursors which were investigated for different applications in the field of biomedical such as protein non-fouling properties, cell-surface interactions and controlled drug release applications. The major part of the work performed was directed towards the two different non equilibrium plasma deposition processes i.e. low pressure inductively excited plasma and atmospheric pressure argon plasma. My work also focuses on the study of the physicochemical and surface analyses of plasma polymers by different characterization techniques. In my doctoral thesis work, the common thread which ties all of the research investigated together is the use of above mentioned processes for deposition of polymeric thin films to prepare new materials for technological and biological applications.
