About

Dr. Nishtha Khansili is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biotechnology, Sharda University, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. Dr. Khansili has done her PhD at the National Institue of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM), Sonipat focusing on the field total aflatoxin detection by rapid nano biosenson in food products and cattle feed. Dr. Khansili is a core food technologist with broad interest in food and environment safety, toxicology, sustainable energy, nano sensor, colorimetric detection; specialisation in the synthesis and characterisation of nanoparticles, nano composites, their functionalization with organic molecules and cast on flexible substrate to device a label free approach for optical detection of carcinogens, toxins, chemical residues in the environment and food. Expertise in nanoscale characterisation techniques including Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Fluorescence and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Her general area of interest include rational synthesis of novel nanostructure, quantum dots; study of their optical, electronic, molecular, morphological properties; development of rapid optical devices for sensing and energy applications. In recent years she has developed the synthesis and characterisation of metal oxide nanoparticles and bentonite based nano composites to be utilised for detection of first class carcinogen aflatoxins in food products and cattle- feed. In addition she has learnt photocatalytic activities of metal oxide nanoparticles to work as enzyme mimic to be utilised for detection of heavy metals, waste water treatment, and photo degradation of organic dyes.
