Boron Doped Diamond Modified Electrode for Antibiotic Detection

The widespread use of antibiotics in healthcare and agriculture has led to their persistent presence in environmental systems and food chains, accelerating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and posing serious risks to public health. Our lab focuses on developing highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensing platforms to enable rapid, on-site detection of antibiotic residues at trace levels.
We leverage boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes combined with advanced nanomaterials such as MXene, metal nanoparticles, and graphene-based composites to enhance electron transfer kinetics and improve analytical performance. Our approach emphasizes real-world applicability, including detection in complex matrices such as milk, water, and biological samples. Through this work, we aim to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale sensing technologies and deployable monitoring systems for food safety and environmental protection.

Food Contamination Sensors

Ensuring food safety requires reliable detection of trace-level contaminants that may arise during processing, packaging, or environmental exposure. Our lab develops electrochemical sensing technologies tailored for the detection of hazardous compounds in food systems, including processing-induced toxins, artificial additives, and pesticide residues.

We integrate functional nanomaterials to achieve high selectivity and sensitivity toward food contaminants such as 3-MCPD, aspartame, and heavy metals. By combining material engineering with electroanalytical techniques, we aim to create rapid, cost-effective, and portable sensing platforms that support regulatory compliance and protect consumer health. Our work also emphasizes green chemistry approaches and scalable fabrication methods to ensure sustainability and practical deployment.
