Undergraduate Work: B.Sc. in Chemistry and Zoology, MJP Rohilkhand University, India.

Graduate Work: M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry, MJP Rohilkhand University, India.

Doctoral Work: Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India. (CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute)

Past Research: Medicinal Chemistry, Organic Synthesis, Material Sciences, Molecular Machines.

Current Research: Imagine a world where chemical transformations and energy production are both efficient and environmentally benign. At the forefront of this vision is the innovative design and synthesis of metal-free photocatalysts, pushing the boundaries of sustainable chemistry. My research is dedicated to harnessing light to power organic transformations and water splitting, unlocking the potential of photochemistry to drive greener and more sustainable solutions. By exploring new frontiers in metal-free catalysis, we are paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future in the chemical sciences.

Best Advice Ever Received: “In the world of chemistry, there are no failures, only experiments with unexpected outcomes.”

Hobbies: Working out, Hiking, Travelling.

What Influenced You to Study Chemistry: Mr. N. K Sharma, my high school chemistry Teacher.
