Tarun Narayan

I am a Research Assistant on the EU project FAMOSOS, specializing in environmental sensor technology, while pursuing my PhD at Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork. During my Marie Curie project, AquaSense, I focused on detecting heavy metals, nitrates, and phosphates in water and soil. I’ve since filed a patent for an innovative soil nitrate sensor, with plans for commercialization.

I hold a B. Tech. + M. Tech. in Nanotechnology from Amity University, Noida, where I developed an SPR-based biosensor for colorectal cancer detection. With 13 research papers, two book chapters, and awards like the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena Award and UCC Innovator of the Year, my research spans environmental sensors, surface plasmon resonance, material science, and electrochemical biosensors. My experience also includes two years as a Junior Research Fellow at Delhi Technological University, working on electrochemical SPR (ESPR) sensors for DNA detection.
