Projects:
1. Evaluation of the Efficacy of Natural Oil-Based Nanoemulsion for Topical Drug.
Conducted research focused on formulating and characterizing a nanoemulsion using natural oils for enhanced topical drug delivery. The project involved preparation of stable nanoemulsion systems through various emulsification techniques, followed by evaluation of key parameters such as droplet size, zeta potential, stability, and drug release profile. Aimed to improve skin permeability and therapeutic efficiency of topical agents using biocompatible and naturally derived components.
2. Development of Antioxidant Packaging Film Using Indian Gooseberry Extract, Tamarind Extract and Polyvinyl Alcohol.
Designed and developed a biodegradable packaging film incorporating natural antioxidant agents extracted from Indian gooseberry and tamarind into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix. The project aimed to enhance the shelf life of food products by leveraging the antioxidant properties of plant-based compounds. Conducted formulation, casting, and characterization of the film, including assessments of antioxidant activity, mechanical strength, and biodegradability. Emphasized sustainable materials and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional plastic packaging.
3. Development of Hand Rehabilitation Robotic Gloves for Finger Motor Function Recovery of Stroke Patients.
Designed and developed a wearable robotic glove system aimed at assisting stroke patients in regaining fine motor function of the fingers. The project focused on creating a low-cost, user-friendly rehabilitation device incorporating soft actuators, sensors, and a microcontroller-based control system to facilitate repetitive motion therapy. Emphasized the integration of ergonomic design, patient safety, and adaptability to various hand sizes. Evaluated functionality through range-of-motion analysis and responsiveness, contributing to advancements in assistive rehabilitation technology for neuro-muscular recovery.
4. Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection: A Combined Image Processing and Machine Learning Approach.
Developed a computer-aided diagnostic model that integrates image processing techniques with machine learning algorithms to improve the accuracy of breast cancer detection. The project involved preprocessing of mammographic images, feature extraction using morphological and texture-based methods, and classification using supervised learning models. Aimed to support early diagnosis by enhancing image clarity, reducing noise, and increasing predictive accuracy. Contributed to research in the field of medical imaging and AI-assisted diagnostic systems.
