Dr. S. M. Dhiepthie earned her Ph.D. in Electronics and Communication for pioneering research on Superhydrophobic Magnetic Nanoparticles (SMNPs) to address oil spill removal challenges. She developed three innovative SMNPs—MAPP-a-MNPs, MAPP-a-MCNPs and MAPP-c-MGCNPs—with superior oil-adsorption, reusability and environmental safety. Her work introduced an automated method combining TA-CED and AU-CHT to precisely measure particle size and oil absorption using SEM and AFM images, achieving results that align closely with manual measurements. This research provides a groundbreaking, eco-friendly solution for oil spill management.
