Dr. Dutta's interests are in cancer research, green chemistry, and functional polymeric microdevices. His research focus in cancer involves the development mid-infrared probes for early detection and prevention of cancer. In green chemistry, Dr. Dutta is interested in understanding solute-solvent interactions of ionic liquids and sequestering of CO2 with these non-aqueous solvents. He is also interested in developing polymeric devices by 2 photon polymerization with the goal of developing flexible electronics.
