RESEARCH FOCUS

My research is on the characterization of concentration-encoded molecular communication system. I am particularly focussing on the modulation, detection, and intersymbol interference (ISI) aspects of concentration-encoded approach of molecular signaling. For more on my works please see the publications below.
