Personal profile

Overview

Akhil joined UoM as a Lecturer in May 2024. He completed his undergraduate and master’s degree in India and then moved to USA & Mexico to pursue PhD in material physics. After completing his doctoral studies in 2017, he moved to the UK in 2018 as a research fellow in bioelectronics at School of Pharmacy, University of Nottingham.

Akhil’s vision is to develop electro-medicines for cancer and other life-threating diseases that are underpinned by disbalance in cellular bioelectricity. Akhil’s current research interest lies in developing quantum nanomaterials to understand and modulate cellular bioelectrical activities. Akhil has expertise in developing photonic materials and wireless nanobioelectronic systems for application in 2D, 3D and in vivo cancer models.
