Dr. Lina Tizani holds a PHD in interdisciplinary engineering from Khalifa University, UAE in collaboration of MIT. She is currently working as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the department of chemical and petroleum engineering at Khalifa University. Her research activities focus on using 2D materials, like graphene and CNT, for different types of sensors: gas, optical and biosensor. She has published 15 international reviewed journal articles as well as was granted a patent on rGO based biosensor for SARS Cov-2 detection in wastewater. She has supervised 3 MS students.
