• Design and synthesis of nanoconjugates of gold nanoparticles with phytohoromone based assemblies.
• Synthesized CdSe and ZnS quantum dots and examined their photophysical properties in the presence of germania and titania based nanomaterials.
• Studied the interactions of phytohoromone-quantum dot assemblies with mammalian cells.
• Conducted encapsulation and drug release studies using the model drug diphenhydramine in the presence of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) based hydrogels.
