Hardeep Kaur

Dr. Hardeep Kaur is a Chemist with a strong background in physical Chemistry, nanotechnology, Biochemistry, and inorganic chemistry. Presently, she is working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biotechnology, Chandigarh University, Mohali, India. She completed her Graduation (B.Sc. Non-Medical) from Govt. College Ropar (affiliated to Panjabi University, Patiala); Master’s Degree in inorganic Chemistry from Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib, and her PhD (Physical Chemistry – Synthesis of carbon and coinage metal-based nanosensors for selective detection of pollutants) from Chandigarh University, Mohali, India. She has published many peer-reviewed papers and book chapters in reputed international/national journals and books chapters like Springer, Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, and Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, Results in Chemistry, Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials. She has received a grant from DST (Govt of India) funded project (Project Title: Low-cost eco-friendly Novel Carbon Based Nanosensors for Selected Heavy Metals and Pesticides) under Kiran Division WOS-B since 2021-2024. She has been awarded different titles at international conferences. She received the “BHARATRATNA Dr. RADHAKRISHNAN GOLD MEDAL AWARD” on 10th Oct 2020, presented by the Global Economic Progress & Research Association in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. Also, the Best Young Scientist Award in Chemical Sciences associated with the 2nd International Conference on Advance Interdisciplinary Research (ICAIR-2023), Jointly organized by Digvijai Nath Post Graduate College, Gorakhpur, UP & Science Tech Institute, Lucknow, UP, India on April 9th, 2023 & Presented by MKSES Educational Society. She does research in Physical Chemistry, nanomaterials, Photochemistry, and nanosensors. Her research activities have focused on the synthesis and characterization of coinage metal and carbon-based nanomaterials from traditional medicinal plants and waste materials and further evaluation of their sensing potential for metal and pesticides in water. Currently, his research group at Chandigarh University is investigating the field of more environmentally friendly synthesis of metal nanoparticles and carbon nanodots using plant extracts/plant-based biomass followed by assessing their biological, catalytic, and sensing potential.
