Brief Description of Current Research Interests
His current research interests are in the area of developing structure-property-performance correlations in particulate materials based nanoengineered systems for enhanced performance in bioimaging, diagnosis and therapies, micro-electronics, advanced materials, energy, and water purification applications. His additional research interests include developing nanoengineered particulate systems for photo-catalytic degradation of hazardous microbes, and nanotoxicity. Overall, a systematic attempt for design based synthesis of engineered particulate systems is the focus of his on-going research endeavors that requires the development of the structure-property-performance correlations.
Dr. Moudgil's Materials Science and Engineering PhD students have graduated with specialties in biomaterials, electronic materials, ceramics, metals and polymeric materials areas. He has also co-advised several Chemical Engineering PhD students. Several of his former graduate students, currently working with microelectronics, health care, materials & minerals, management consulting companies, and national laboratories have been recognized for their outstanding performance and professional contributions.
