Faculty Profile

About

Obtained my Ph.D. in regular mode from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay in the area of synthetic organometallic and coordination chemistry. Currently working on the development of new nitrogen/phosphorus-based hybrid ligands in various transition metal-catalyzed organic transformations. Also, involved in teaching Chemistry to undergraduate students.
Qualified national eligibility test (NET) twice for both lectureship (LS) and JRF, conducted jointly by CSIR and UGC in the years 2007 and 2008. I have a postdoctoral experience of about six months at IIT Bombay. I published 25 high-quality research articles in the internationally renowned Web of Science indexed journals . In addition, I also published two book chapters and two patents.
