About


Hi I am Tashfia, a 5th year PhD candidate at the University at Buffalo. 
 The purpose of this website is to showcase my research in a way that is not possible through, say, GoogleScholar or Researchgate! Months, and often years, of hard-work, heart-breaks (read 'failed experiments'), and perseverance feed into the fruition of a project.

Hence I have decided to document all those behind-the-scenes, the Eureka moments without which my project wouldn't see the light of the day!

Along the way, I will also try to  touch on tangential concepts that I have learnt from reading a plethora of literature. This is more for myself- sort of to justify my guilty pleasure of whirling in the loop of papers that cited XYZ...
 Finally, I will share snippets of my journey as a grad student: that'll include food, travel, friends and random things.  

Projects




Oxidative Degradation of Polyamide by Conventional and Novel Disinfectants


In this project we evaluated the compatibility of polyamide membrane with a novel disinfectant, peracetic acid (PAA), using both macroscale performance tests and microscale surface characterization methods




Probing the Adsorption of Long-Chained PFAS on Simple Hydrophobic Surface


Manuscript submitted...will add details once published!




Nanomechanical Mapping of Soft Matter


Project under construction. Will keep updating theory I learn along the way..
