Served as a science mentor and educator for school children in High point, NC through the Transforming Teaching Through Technology (T4) program through the Department of Education at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Assisting the principal in strategic direction and development of school .Managing the academics and administration of the school .Implementation of various Montessori techniques and tools for educating students .

12 month internship (2012-13) at Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, Queensland on the topic titled “Synthesis of biocompatible polyurethanes and determine its mechanical properties using different chain extenders” under Professor Justin Cooper White and Dr.Jane Fitzpatrick During my Master internship, I have synthesised polyurethanes by condensation polymerisation and investigate the effect of chain extenders and hard block content of urethane, on the phase behaviour, biological properties, mechanical properties, surface properties and thermal properties of resulting polymers. This project was carried out for six months.

In my project , I learnt to functionalise multiwall carbon nanotubes using nitric acid to disperse them into polymeric matrix of epoxy .When successfully dispersed the composite showed about 40% increase in flexural strength compared to epoxy polymer.
