I am a PhD chemist (Thesis submitted) with deep expertise in synthetic organic chemistry, photophysics, and chemical biology, gained during my doctoral work at BITS‑Pilani, Hyderabad. My research centers on designing fused heterocyclic molecules featuring ESIPT and ICT cores for sensing and materials applications.

I have hands‑on experience across organic synthesis, spectroscopic and imaging techniques (including TCSPC, confocal microscopy, FTIR, UV‑Vis, Raman, CD), electrochemical and chromatographic methods, and computational tools such as TD‑DFT. I have contributed to 14+ research articles with roles spanning synthesis, characterization, crystal solving, photophysical analysis, and experimental design.

I have taught instrumental methods of analysis and organic synthesis laboratories, mentored undergraduate projects, and guided colleagues toward publications and conference presentations. I foster collaborative, interdisciplinary research and enjoy training students to develop independent research skills.

I am seeking opportunities where I can apply my synthetic, analytical, and chemical‑biology skills to advance sensing, medicinal‑chemistry, or materials research in a dynamic, team‑oriented environment and continue growing as a researcher.
