I’m a Co-Author of the research: “Fabrication of precious metal-combined CuO wire materials to make sensors for early detection of kidney disease in urine”, a project combining nanotechnology and healthcare.
This is a study carried out from May to November 2024 that aimed to create an inexpensive, non-invasive diagnosis equipment and thus, a potential breakthrough in early medical screening and intervention. Our team characterized material structure and performance using many techniques including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and electrochemical measurements to characterize material structure and performance. In addition to fabrication, we took the opportunity to investigate the potential reach of the device in active healthcare applications.
Our work was recognized at the World Invention and Creativity Olympics (WICO) 2025, where we received both Gold and Special Awards, which appreciated the originality of the project and its practicality.
Being at WICO opened my eyes to what research entails and how we can push forward from the research labs into human well-being. And it invigorated my commitment to sustainable innovation.
