My research develops self-healing concrete by embedding polymer capsules containing healing agents that release when cracks form. Using experiments and computational modeling, the work identifies optimal capsule designs that survive concrete mixing…
2026
Heavy metals in drinking water pose serious health risks, yet current testing methods often require laboratories or lack accuracy. This research develops optical sensors called optodes that use light-responsive dyes to detect contaminants. The goal…

This research improves water and clinical diagnostics by replacing slow culture-based methods with rapid DNA-based detection. It enables faster, more accurate identification of pathogens, comprehensive microbial profiling, and tracing of…
2025
This research investigates attentional control by isolating experience-driven effects from goal-driven and saliency-driven attention. Using controlled visual search tasks, it demonstrates how prior experience biases perception and response times.…
