Located in the Department of Chemistry & Environmental Science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology(NJIT), headed by Professor Somenath Mitra.Our research focus are in the field of Analytical Chemistry, Nanotechnology and Smart Active Coatings. In analytical chemistry we are geared towards developing instrumentation for on-line/ real-time monitoring analysis, environmental monitoring, field portable instruments and micro fluidic devices. In nanotechnology we work on nanoparticles, particularly Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) as an adsorbents for various environmental/pharmaceutical pollutants, chromatography stationary phases, expanding their applications by functionalization and polymer composites. Third area of our group's focus is on activity Smart Active Coatings with embedded sensing and color change properties with potential application in defense related objects funded by Department of Defense (DOD).
