I received M.Sc degree (2010) in Chemistry from Utkal University, Odisha, India and Ph.D. degree in 2016, from department of chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, Assam, India. After completion of Ph.D, I worked as a D.S Kothari postdoctoral researcher at department of inorganic and physical chemistry, Indian Institute of Science (IISc.), Bangalore, India (Jan’2017- Sept 2018), as a postdoctoral researcher at Madrid Institute for Advance studies, IMDEA Nanoscience, Madrid, Spain (Dec’2018- Sept’2020) and as a senior project associate at materials chemistry department, CSIR-IMMT Bhubaneswar, India (Nov’2020-August’2022). Currently, I am working as a MSCA postdoc fellow (Since Sept'2022) at Technical University Munich Campus in Straubing, Germany in the Chair of Biogenic Functional Materials with Prof. Rubén D. Costa. My primary research includes design and development of luminescent small organic molecules for optoelectronic and biological applications, investigating excited state dynamics through photophysical and optical spectroscopic studies and TDDFT calculations.
