What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for growth in research and development.

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Michigan State University, where I focus on evaluating the interactions of proteins and small molecules with biological membrane systems. My academic journey has been marked by a strong emphasis on molecular simulations and computational chemistry, culminating in a PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar. My dissertation explored the role of charged residues in protein structural dynamics and adsorption, showcasing my commitment to advancing the field of chemical engineering.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to several publications in reputable journals, including studies on protein characteristics and hydrophobicity predictions. My research has not only been recognized in academic circles but has also been presented at international conferences, highlighting my ability to communicate complex scientific concepts effectively. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in AI-based structural biology tools and high-performance computing to drive innovation in drug discovery and delivery.
