Dr. Vinoth Kumar currently working as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Chemistry at Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. He obtained his PhD in Chemistry from the Madurai Kamaraj University, Tamil Nadu, India. His studies were focused on the design and development of novel nanostructured materials as electrochemical sensors/biosensors and photocatalysts for the detection and degradation of lethal pollutants. He was a visiting researcher at National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan (2017-2018), where he gained more insight on the effect of nanomaterials design and preparation methods on their structural properties and consequently their electrochemical sensing performance. From 2020 to 2024, he continued his research career as a postdoctoral scientist in South Korea where he actively worked on syntheses of various functional two- and three-dimensional (2D&3D) nanostructured materials for utilizing them as electrochemical sensors/biosensors and photocatalysts. During his stay at Yonsei University, he got hands-on experience in Microfabrication techniques including (CO2 Laser-printing operations, ALD, PECVD, CVD and E-beam & Photolithography, screen-printing, 3D-printing, microfluidics and AutoCAD), design/fabricate/evaluate biosensors on a wearable platform by integrating bio-fluid sampling and biosensing systems (saliva, tears and sweat), System integration of wearable biosensors with wireless electronics (Bluetooth, NFC) combined with electrical engineers and analyze/identify clinical value from human studies. He has published more than 45 research articles in highly regarded international journals with the total citations of >2000 and h-index of 27.
