Prof. Shobha Shukla specializes in research areas including 3D/4D micro/ nanofabrication using two­photon lithography, wastewater treatment, biophotonics, and plasmonic devices. She collaborates extensively with industry, government, and academic partners, employing both experimental and computational approaches to address global environmental challenges related to air, water, and energy. Recently, her team at IIT Bombay has developed the first additive­free all­carbon composite for patterning of fluorescent micro/nanostructures [1]. Another team is focused on wastewater treatment, using graphene­based porous materials and nanocomposite polymer membranes. They have developed a range of working devices, like Oil Shark_R, Dye Monster, H­ MetaS, and Oil Trapper, aimed at resource recovery and water purification [2]. The development of a miniaturized nano­ sensor for the detection of the arsenic species in water, is another example of work which lies at the intersection of chemistry, photonics and water quality monitoring. In addition to her research, Prof. Shukla serves as the Center­in­ Charge at the Water Innovation Center: Technology Research & Education (WICTRE). She is also an associated faculty member at the IITB­Ohio State Frontier Science and Engineering Research Center. She also serves an an Editorial Board member of 'Scientific Reports' (Nature Publishing Group), 'Journal of Physics­Photonics' and 'Nanotechnology' (IoP Publishing), and the Editorial Advisory Board Member of 'Materials Open Research' by Taylor & Francis. She has also been involved as a Guest Editor for “Thematic issue in Graphene synthesis & patterning” by 'Frontiers in Materials' and a special issue focussed on "Metaphotonics" in 'Journal of Physics­Photonics.”
