Dr. Daisy Das is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Precision Electrochemical Nanosensor Group at the Tyndall National Institute, where she specialises in the development of advanced electrochemical sensors for environmental applications. Her current research centres on microchip-based sensing platforms designed for real-time, on-site monitoring of key soil nutrients to enable sustainable agricultural practices and support environmental remediation. Her work spans nanomaterial synthesis, sensor fabrication, and electrochemical performance evaluation, contributing to interdisciplinary efforts in next-generation environmental diagnostics.

Dr. Das’s broader research interests encompass electrochemical sensing, functional nanomaterials, and sustainable technologies for water and wastewater treatment. She has authored multiple peer-reviewed journal articles, contributed to book chapters, and presented her research at various international conferences.

She earned her PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad, India, where she conducted extensive experimental investigations into the electrochemical treatment of contaminated water. Her doctoral research focused on the removal of fluoride, iron, arsenic, chromium, and coexisting toxins from groundwater, as well as the extraction of heavy metals from mine wastewater using electrocoagulation-based methods. Dr. Das also holds an M.Tech in Petroleum Technology and a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering.

Prior to her current role, Dr Das was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India where her research centered on the development of electrochemical sensors for in-situ detection and quantification of agricultural pesticides and its intermediates.
