His research is focused on the development of novel biomaterials and their applications in tissue engineering. He is fascinated by various surface and interfacial phenomena that occur at the interfaces between artificial materials and living systems. Current projects in his group deal with the development of novel methods for the fabrication of nanostructured materials and thin films using supercritical fluid technology. Using these methods, his group recently demonstrated the fabrication of hierarchically porous scaffolds composed of bioceramics and endowed with osteoconductive properties. He is also interested in the development of smart, mechanochromic hydrogels and their applications in bio-sensing. Sachin holds a BS from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and PhD from Rice University, Houston, TX.
