Bio-Organic Electronics Lab

Mohammad is a PhD student at the Bio-Electronics Lab. He received his B.S degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, with VLSI integration as major stream. He earned his M.S degree in Electrical Engineering from Lamar University where he worked on analog circuits, and signal integrity for semiconductor devices. His current doctoral project is on detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ambient temperature for environmental monitoring. 

Mohammad's research interests are in the area of semiconductor physics, VLSI chip designing, nanomaterials, plasma physics, characterization, and nanofabrication. 

Reza graduated from University of Arak in 2016 with a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering. During this time, I worked on the organic synthesis of Conductive polymers such as Polyethylenedioxythiophene Polystyrene Sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and Polyaniline (PANI) (two important polymer related to energy harvesting and biomedical applications such as solar cells and scaffolds) at the Department of Chemical Engineering within the university. Later that year I started the M.Sc. program in Polymer at the Sharif University of Technology (the best university at Iran) which I completed in 2019. While completing this degree, I worked at the Polymer Lab in Sharif University of Technology working on two different projects related to the Thermoelectric materials and Smart textile.
 
To expand my knowledge as an Electrical Engineer, I joined the lab of Dr. Arash Takshi at University of South Florida to complete my PhD where I have been studying bioorganic and bioelectronic devices. My current research specifically focused on the Supercapacitor and Solar Hybrid Cells, allowing me to build upon my past work on conductive polymers and energy harvesting.

Born and raised in Bangalore, India, Nirmita received her B.S degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from MS Engineering College. With an interest in microelectronics and nanomaterials, she found a path to accomplish her MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of South Florida (USF). After graduating, she worked for Renesas Electronics America as an Applications Engineer for two and half years. 

She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. at USF with research interests in solar cell/renewable energy applications, nanomaterial science, fabrication, designing, material characterization and electrospinning.
