Microfluidic electrochemical biosensors (MEB)
Mohtashim H. Shamsi
I am the captain of MEB Team. I joined the SIUC faculty in fall 2015 as an assistant professor. I obtained my PhD from the University of Toronto at Scarborough (2012) and completed postdoctoral fellowship from the University of Toronto, St. George campus in 2015. My current research interest lie at the interfaces of electrochemistry, biosensing, and microfluidics. I enjoy reading books and spending time with my family. You can find more about me at CV, Research Gate, Google Scholar, and Linkedin.

I am PhD student at MEB lab. I completed my M.Sc. in analytical chemistry From Federal Urdu University, Karachi with research in
electroanalytical chemistry. Then, I earned MS in chemistry from National University of Science and Technology, Islamabad Pakistan with
research in preparation of graphene and its application in electrochemical biosensing. In MEB lab I am currently working on electrochemical biosensing of DNA repeat sequence. I like to play cricket and badminton. Writing, sketching and sculpting are my hobbies.
