Dr. Ponnusamy Arul's responsibility is to serve as a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Institute of Biochemical and Biomedical Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei Tech), Taiwan-106. He also served as a post-doctoral fellow under the direction of Distinguished Prof. Sheng-Tung Huang at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, National Taipei University of Technology, from 2020 to 2022. He obtained a doctoral degree in chemistry (Ph.D) (DST-INSPIRE Fellow by the Government of India) in the Department of Chemistry, The Gandhigram Rural Institute, Dindigul, Tamil Nadu, India, under Prof. Abraham John's mentorship. He also received a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil) from the School of Chemistry, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. He also received a Master's degree (M.Sc) with a gold medal fellow from Periyar University, Salem, Tamil Nadu, India. He holds a Bachelor's degree from Aringnar Anna College, Periyar University, Salem, Tamil Nadu, India. He develops metal-free and metal-containing organic frameworks and hybrid functional materials for diverse functional electrocatalysis. His current research involves developing electrochemical and biosensors and monitoring biological live cell systems in real-time.

Welcome to the “Electrochemical-Biosensors Lab” (https://che.ntut.edu.tw/p/412-1078-10798.php?Lang=zh-tw and https://vpsarul.wixsite.com/mysite), Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Institute of Biochemical and Biomedical Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei Tech), Taipei, Taiwan-106. To date, we have developed an electrochemical sensor that detects a variety of significant environmental and food-based chemicals, biological targets, biomarkers, and other key targets. The catalysts are metal- and metal-free organic frameworks, and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, and their hybrid composites include metal oxides, carbon composites, graphene/carbon quantum dots, Mxene, MoS2, metal nanoparticles, and so on. Multispectral and microscopic analysis methods are used to verify the catalytic properties of the designed catalysts and confirm. The research aimed to investigate chemical and biological target signals, sensor sensing capacity, characteristic behavior of the sensor assay, rate reaction kinetics, correlation coefficient points, anti-interference ability, stability, reproducibility, etc. Furthermore, detecting electrode fouling behavior, degradation of oxidization or reduction products from the analyzed sensor signal, and reproducibility of sensors. The key objectives of the biosensor are to validate the real-time practical quantitative analysis of direct complex bodily fluid samples (direct human blood, urine, sweat samples) and real living cells (endogenous target release from biological live cells with the help of suitable chemical inducers) and exogenous release of the target from chemical donors to monitor disease progression. Finally, conventional laboratory-based sensor systems have shifted to flexible point-of-care (POC) and commercial sensor devices.
