معرفی
Dr. Indrajit Srivastava is an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering, Texas Tech University, where he joined as a tenure-track faculty member in Fall 2023. He holds a Ph.D. (2020) and M.S. (2017) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a B.E. (2015) in Metallurgical Engineering & Materials Science from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science & Technology, Shibpur, India.
His research focuses on biomimetic nanoparticles, particularly carbon dots, for fluorescence-guided cancer surgeries, NIR-II imaging, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. He has pioneered the use of nanomaterials for tumor delineation, hypoxia detection, and correlated optical/photoacoustic imaging, with publications in ACS Nano, Nature Communications, and PNAS.
Recent publications highlight trends in NIR-II emission optimization, machine learning-enhanced biosensing, and biomimetic surface engineering. His work bridges material science, biomedical engineering, and clinical translation.
