She graduated in 2011 with PhD in Electrocatalysis which delve into the construction of solid-state electrocatalyst that inspired from the {FeFe}-hydrogenases enzyme that responsible for the reversible uptake/ evolution of dihydrogen, the chemistry which is of potential technological importance towards clean energy transduction. She is specializing in electrode surface modification via electrochemical techniques i.e., electropolymerization and electrodeposition using materials such as carbon-based polymer, first and second row transition metals and 2D materials. Presently the bulk of her research deals with electrochemical sensors development including construction of non-enzymatic biomedical nanosensors to accurately detect body metabolites such as glucose, sodium, sulfate and chloride in the body fluids; self-correcting divalent cations sensor for precision agriculture by measuring plant macronutrients at ppm level which can be applied in agriculture industry to avoid excessive use of fertilizers. She is also concerns with environmental pollutants, by developing electrochemical sensor on heavy metals and volatile organic compounds (VOC) monitoring. On top of that, she is also researching in artificial photosynthesis, aiming to develop the solid-state electrocatalysts system which inspired from nature on solving the energy crisis via hydrogen production and conversion of greenhouse gases into renewable fuel.
