About
I am an Assistant Professor of Chemistry based in Biratnagar, Koshi Province, Nepal, where I supervise PostDoc, PhD, MSc research projects and contribute to curriculum development and laboratory protocol design. My research focuses on biochar preparation and modification for environmental remediation, surfactant chemistry and micellization behavior, dye–amino acid interactions and binding kinetics, and groundwater quality assessment with an emphasis on heavy metal contamination. I have strong expertise in analytical and materials characterization techniques, including FTIR, SEM, XPS, XRD, TGA, and BET, as well as UV–Vis spectroscopy for binding studies and quantum/computational chemistry fundamentals. I collaborate with national and international partners, including previous work with IIT Madras, University of Mim,ai, FL, USA, and am actively involved in grant proposal writing, manuscript preparation for journals, and peer review. My academic interests also include molecular dynamics simulations (GROMACS), green chemistry approaches to material synthesis, and the development of scientific figures and infographics to support chemistry education.
