PREM SINGH

Received a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree from Punjab Technical University, India, in 2012. Following this, received a Master of Pharmacy degree in Pharmaceutics from Punjab Technical University, India, in 2014. Worked as a Team Leader in the Quality Control department (Analytical Method Validation) at Cipla Pharmaceutical Ltd. and Panacea Biotec. Currently, enrolled as a Ph.D. candidate at the Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi in the School of Basic Sciences under the supervision of Dr. Amit Jaiswal. Main research interests include the synthesis of plasmonic nanostructures for SERS sensing, photothermal therapy, and catalysis. In the year 2020, got selected for the Newton-Bhabha Ph.D. placement program at the University of Leeds, Leeds, U.K

Successfully completed following government funded projects during PhD work:

1 Engineering novel plasmonic nanocapsules for cancer therapy and diagnostics

2 Engineering NIR responsive multifunctional 2D-material based nanocomposites for biomedical applications.
