Selected Scientist and Principal Investigator at the Council for Scientific & Industrial Research under Dept. of Scientific & Industrial Research, Govt of India. CSIR is the only Indian Organization among top 100 global Govt R&D Institutions

I received the prestigious Ramanujan Fellowship award in Feb 2023 from the Science & Engineering Research Board (SERB)-Govt. of India. I availed the fellowship at IISER Trivandrum. I started investigation of active sites in chalcogenide based heterogeneous catalysts. Chalcogenide heterogeneous catalysts are extensively used in hydroprocessing and are of interest as an electrocatalyst for green hydrogen. An efficeincy gain can have significant ramifications in large scale petroleum refining processes and maybe in future green hydrogen projects.

Berkeley, California, United States

I worked at the National Center for Electron Microsopy (NCEM) -Lawrence Berkeley National Lab to solve some of the challenging problems in Materials Science & Hetrogeneous Catalysis employing various TEM techniques. I had the opprtunity to learn adavanced TEM techniques working with esteemed scientists at NCEM-LBL.

Berkeley, California, United States

I worked as a postdoctoral research scholar at the Dept. of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering- UC Berkeley. The project involved synthesis metodolgies development and advanced TEM techniques. During my research at UC Berkeley I extensively collaborated with various stake-holders in Industry (Chevron Corp.) and scientists at LBL resulting in publication and process technologies improvement.

Paris, Île-De-France, France

I received postdoctoral fellowship and lecturership (ATER) from the prestigious French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and College de France Foundation Paris and worked at the CNRS UMR 7574 Laboratoire de chimie de la matière condensée de Paris (LCMCP) located at the Sorbonne University Jussieu Paris Campus. College de France Paris is among the most prestigious research establishments in France Established in 1530. During my research in Paris I had the exciting opprotunity to learn materials science and solid-state chemistry in-depth, collaborate and work as a team with CNRS labs in Strasbourg and Normandy. I extensively interacted with researchers from different countries in EU while working in the lab and my stay at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris (CIUP) campus.
