What I'm looking for

I am seeking a PhD or research role in sustainable materials where I can apply green chemistry, lead interdisciplinary projects, mentor students, and contribute to publishable research in an academically rigorous, collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated chemist and educator with extensive experience in organic synthesis, green chemistry, and advanced analytical techniques.

I have conducted and published research on polysaccharide functionalization, nanoparticle synthesis, and water treatment materials, and presented at national and international conferences.

As a teacher and content developer I have mentored students, prepared curriculum-aligned instructional materials, and created step-by-step solutions for competitive exams like IIT-JEE.

I seek a PhD position to advance sustainable materials research, leveraging interdisciplinary collaboration, rigorous experimental design, and strong scientific writing skills.
