Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Gurshagan Kandhola's research interests are centered on the development and application of nanomaterials, particularly cellulose nanocrystals and their derivatives, for various biomedical and industrial purposes. Kandhola investigates the fabrication of advanced materials, including hydrogels and bionanocomposites, designed for enhanced bioaccessibility, bioavailability, and controlled release of bioactive compounds. Publications detail work on creating polysaccharide-based biopolymers, as well as utilizing graphene, carbon nanotubes, and nanocellulose in tissue engineering scaffolds. Further research explores the tunable physicochemical properties of cellulose nanocrystal-based hydrogels and microspheres, with applications in drug delivery systems. Kandhola also examines the impact of feedstock variability on cellulose nanocrystal properties and their use in stabilizing emulsions. Collaborations include work with Joseph Batta‐Mpouma, J. Sakon, Jaspreet Kaur, and Cody Chivers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
