About Me
Sagnik is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical, Biological and Pharmaceutical Engineering in the College of Engineering. He is working collaboratively with many life science researchers to stimulate novel, innovative and potentially high-risk research projects in nano/bio technology areas. His areas of expertise include developing chemical and biological sensors using nano/microfluidics and nanotechnology platforms; studying metal/dielectric/bio interfaces like SERS and Plasmonics; electrodynamic and electrohydrodynamic simulations from bulk to nano. He has been instrumental in developing lab on a chip technology for the last five years with collaborators from biology, biochemistry, biomedical and medicine. Some of the specific projects related to biomedical applications include an electro-chemical, label-free, cost-effective, carbon nanotube and shear discrimination, based diagnostic device; nano-fluidic based label-free, electrochemical sensor as alternative to real-time or quick PCR (qPCR); optical nanobio sensors for FRET and SERS studies of single molecule. He is the first to show the dependence of nonlinear electrokinetic effects on the capacitive double layer and design assays based on this physical insights. The corresponding papers of Sagnik are highly cited. He has been successful in the development and commercialization of technology through the license of multiple patents. He has guided in an advisory role to many MS students and is currently supervising a Ph.D. student. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of his projects, his graduate students often work with faculty from many disciplines. His current research thrusts are; (1) Developing a Multidisciplinary Platform for Single Cell Analysis using Microfluidics, Biomedical Imaging, Computation, Drug Delivery, Galvanotactics (Roman Voronov, CBPE), (2) Two layered microfluidic device with nanofluidics gates, μTRANS – Micro Total-Analytical Neurological System and μFILMS to study pharmaceutical films (James Haorah, BME; Ecevit Bilgili, CBPE), (3) Combining Surface Dielectrophoresis with microfluidic Lego blocks for developing a Sweat sensor, (4) Investigating additive manufacturing techniques chiefly 3D printing for making microfluidics devices with nano-ordered geometry and printed circuits (Wen Zhang, CE; Gal Haspel, BE)).
