Praneeth was exploring the frontiers of Internet of things by researching at the cross section of materials science, chemistry and engineering. He was working on developing innovative sensors for detecting toxic gases such as carbon monoxide. He was currently working on synthesizing magnetic gold nanoparticles that would be used to create ‘smart polymer films’ to produce a sensor that can change color on detecting traces of toxic gases and alert people of the impending danger well in advance.
