What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an Assistant Professor position where I can mentor students, foster scientific curiosity through innovative teaching methods, and contribute to academic excellence and research advancement.

At Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, I research Vitis vinifera phytochemistry, essential oil analysis, and liposomal quercetin nano-formulation. My work has appeared in two Fitoterapia reviews, where I was a first and second author.

I contributed to the design and data analysis for pre-clinical in-vivo toxicity and bioavailability assessments, without direct animal handling. I also filed a published patent for a novel active-targeted Lipo-Quercetin nano-formulation.

My research includes phytochemical analysis and antioxidant assays, supported by hands-on training at the Centre for Bioscience and Nano Science Research. During my CADD internship at Unibiosys, I worked with molecular docking simulations, virtual screening, and ADMET analysis.

I’ve presented research at international and national conferences, earning a Best Paper Award and a first prize for an oral presentation. I’m seeking an Assistant Professor position where I can contribute to academic excellence and research advancement while mentoring students and fostering scientific curiosity through innovative teaching.
