Development of Bio-material based Nanocomposite Thermoelectric Generator

Thermoelectric systems can produce electricity using temperature difference and heating/cooling effect using electricity. Thermoelectric systems are basically combination of p and n-type semiconductor materials. Thermoelectric systems have many advantages such as, environment friendly, no moving parts, silent in operation, and long service life. However, at this stage thermoelectric systems have very low efficiency so they […]

Comparative Study to Determine the Efficacy of Different Sanitizers to inactivate Human Pathogens on Shredded Lettuce and within Spent Wash Water

Bagged salads have been linked to foodborne illness outbreaks implicating Salmonella, E coli and Listeria. It was commonly believed that the post-harvest washing applied prior to bagging would remove field-acquired contamination. However, through various lines of research has illustrated that washing can result in cross-contamination of produce rather than decontamination. The majority of research performed […]

Shape-shifting organelles: How does ER-remodelling affect plastid morphology?

Research Question: How does ER-remodelling affect plastid morphology? The project focuses on unveiling the relationship between the plastid and ER by investigating novel proteins that seem to mediate the contact between both cellular compartments. Besides investigating the possible bridge between organelles key players changing plastid morphological aspects will be analysed in depth to understand if […]
