Kartikey Sharma

I am a Doctoral student at the University of Illinois at Chicago, known for my enthusiasm, meticulous approach, and strong work ethic as a researcher. My primary research interests revolve around 2D nano-materials, including Graphene and boron nitride, with a focus on their interactions with biomolecules for applications in skin cancer detection and sensor functionalization. I am currently expanding my research into the realm of battery systems to facilitate high-energy storage. Prior to my doctoral studies, I served as a site manager at Reliance Industries Limited in India, where I oversaw the safe, reliable, and sustainable operation of the Ethylene oxide manufacturing division of a petrochemical plant. During this time, I completed rigorous training programs in fire safety, operational management systems, mentoring, and soft skills development. My academic journey began at the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, where I proudly achieved the highest levels of academic excellence.
