What I'm looking for

I aim to work on challenging electrochemical processes that support sustainable development, contribute to an organization's goals, and help me continuously improve my skills through learning.

At Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology, I research electrochemical CO₂ reduction using amine-functionalized catalysts. I developed a monoethanolamine-modified interface to improve selectivity toward formic acid and ethanol.

My work includes synthesizing zinc-copper nanostructures, characterizing catalysts, and studying their stability and degradation. I also optimize membrane electrode assemblies for gas-phase CO₂ reduction, and have worked on sustainable battery recycling and metal recovery.
