LABORATORY OF SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS FOR TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH (LSMTR)

LSMTRI is situated in the Department of Physics, IIT (BHU), Varanasi headed by Dr. Avanish Parmar. An interdisciplinary group working in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnology with a major emphasis on health, environmental, energy, food, and agriculture applications. The group's main focus is to synthesize novel functional materials using natural materials like biomolecules (proteins, DNA), and medicinal plants. We also work with other 2D materials (BN, MoS2, and Graphene). We use these synthesized novels and hybrid materials for various applications related to

1. Health care: Chronic wound healing (diabetes), Bone implants, 3D/4D bio-ink for tissue engineering, UV protection, biosensors, medical diagnostic devices, bioimaging, and drug delivery. 

2.. Environment:  Sensors for toxic metal detection in Water, Water remediation, and Gas sensing. 

3. Food and Agriculture: Bioimaging and Sensors for food safety, nano-pesticides, and nano-fertilizers. 

4: Energy: OLED, VOLET, and White LED.

Our primary goal is to give inexpensive and sustainable technology to society.
