Biography

Dr. Manashi Nath, graduated with PhD from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore with research expertise on inorganic nanomaterials. She carried out postdoctoral research under Prof. Brice Parkinson at the Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, focusing on superconducting nanostructures. Dr. Nath joined Missouri University of Science and Technology in 2008 and has established a research group focusing on developing functional materials for various applications ranging from renewable energy conversion, environmental mitigation to biosensors and biomedical devices. Current research project in the group focuses on (i) developing novel electrocatalysts for electrochemical and photoelectrochemical water splitting; (ii) designing new catalytic systems for reduction of CO₂ to carbon-rich fuels and chemicals thereby closing the carbon loop; (iii) developing electrochemical sensors for detecting various biomarkers for metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases; (iv) growing nanorod and nanotube arrays for solar energy conversion; and (v) growing magnetic nanostructure arrays for theranostic applications.
