Biography

Vikas, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Glasgow, is currently engaged in a project sponsored by the US National Institutes of Health-National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. His research is primarily focused on the optimization of singlet oxygen dosimetry for photodynamic therapy and the development of innovative Time-Resolved Singlet Oxygen Luminescence Detection systems.

With a Ph.D. from the Academy of Scientific & Innovative Research, Central Scientific Instruments Organisation, Vikas possesses extensive expertise in optical engineering and photothermal therapeutics. His research on the optical properties of plasmonic photothermal therapeutics has earned him distinction, including the title of Gold Medallist in Optical Engineering.

Vikas' contributions to the field have been acknowledged through awards, publications in esteemed journals, and presentations at both national and international conferences. Proficient in programming languages such as C, Matlab, COMSOL, Zemax, Python and LabVIEW, Vikas also has practical experience with a variety of experimental equipment.

Driven by a profound enthusiasm for biophotonics and nanophotonics, Vikas is consistently seeking new opportunities to advance the fields of optical engineering and biophotonics. He welcomes potential collaborations and invites interested parties to connect with him to explore opportunities for impactful advancements.

Research interests

Currently, I am engaged in research focused on the utilization of single photon detectors in the biomedical domain, specifically for quantifying the singlet oxygen during photodynamic theraputics. Additionally, I am in the process of devising a system for the precise quantification of the optical properties of tumor areas in the presence of nanoparticles and dyes, with the aim of facilitating multimodal cancer treatment.
