  Wrote review articles on various issues for the past 4 years and developed interactive elements to make content easier to understand for a general audience:2023-2024:• Application of bare-iron magnetic nanoparticles to remove microplastics from wastewater treatment plants, its application in current aquatic environments, and case studies conducted by researchers. The solution showed an average of 90 percent removal rate of synthetic microfibers in fresh- and saltwater biomes. • Created an interactive poster, a website (https://lakmahajan2005.wixsite.com/nanoparticles), a game that demonstrates our solution, a brochure explaining magnetic nanoparticles, and a 3D model.2022-2023:• Application of 3D food printing in creating sustainable food supplies for long-term space missions and the issue with current space foods, and trials conducted by researchers. • Created an interactive poster, a website (https://3d-foodtomars.weebly.com/), a game that demonstrates our solution, a brochure explaining 3D food printing, and a 3D model of a food printer. 2021-2022: • Application of coagulation/flocculation in removing toxic cyanobacteria and trials conducted by researchers. • Created an interactive poster, a website (https://strikingcyanobacteria.weebly.com/), a game, a brochure about coagulation/flocculation, and a 3D model of a cyanobacterial cell. 2020-2021: • Application of nanotechnology in palliating Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), the different nanoparticles available, and the clinical trials conducted. • Created a website (https://nanotechincad.weebly.com/), animated videos, and an educational interactive game.
