Prakash's research contributions are primarily in the fields of Lab-on-Chip micro-devices, biosensors for point-of-care diagnostics, soft-wearable systems for continuous, non-invasive health monitoring, environmental monitoring systems, cost-effective copolymer semiconductor, conductor and superconductor materials, and micro/nano fabrication techniques.
At Carleton, he oversees the Organic Sensor and Devices Laboratory (OSDL), investigating organic, label-free chemical and biological sensors, screen-printed bio-electronic microsystems, flexible organic electronic components for wearables and human-device interfacing, and smart surfaces and interfaces for environmental monitoring applications.
The recent advancements in organic semiconductor, conductor and dielectric materials and micro/nanofabrication techniques have yielded exciting developments in the domain of low-cost, flexible electronic devices and systems. The choice of carbon-based semiconductor materials has opened several possibilities for designing electronic system topologies using organic transistor devices, screen-printed disposable sensors and integrated systems for wearable technology and point-of-care applications. Polymeric semiconductor and conductor materials are highly promising for developing disposable micro/nano technologies which can be produced through room temperature facile fabrication process and are suitable for low-cost flexible printed microelectronic systems.
