I am Veerappan Mani, a Senior Research Scientist at the Centre for Advanced Measurement Research & Health Translation - a joint initiative with the National Measurement Laboratory (NML) at the Laboratory of the Government Chemist (LGC), University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom. I earned my Ph.D. from the National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan. I have held prestigious roles at institutions such as King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), USA. I have been recognized as the 2023 Rising Star in Measurement Science, world's top 2% scientists, UK’s global talent, and JPhysD Emerging Leaders 2024.
My research focuses on the development of next-generation medical diagnostic technologies, with a primary focus on cardiovascular diseases—an area of critical importance to clinicians, patients, and the medical industry. My multidisciplinary expertise spans bioengineering and biomedical diagnostic device fabrication, nanomaterials for bio-conjugation, electrochemical biosensors, in-situ pharmacokinetics sensors for precision medicine, DNA origami structures for signal amplifications, and the system integration for point-of-care diagnostic use.
I published over 115 research publications, with 6,500 citations and an h-index of 46. I hold 10 years of research experience and 5 years of teaching experience in top-ranked universities of Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, India, US and UK. I hold a professional higher education teaching certificate from Harvard University and am currently pursuing a PGCert degree in Researcher Professional Development at the University of Strathclyde. I serve on the editorial boards of 5 journals and member of professional societies including RSC, ACS, ECS, and BES. I regularly deliver invited talks at international conferences.
