About

Presently working as Internal Full Time Research Scholar (Ph.D. student) at Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, India.

My research work deals with the synthesis of 2D nanomaterials like Graphene, Graphene Oxide, reduced Graphene Oxide. My synthesis work also adds, Zinc Oxide nanoparticles, Zinc Oxide quantum dots as well. In addition, I handle flame retardants, herbicides also.

Along with synthesis, I am working in nano-ecotoxicology also, where I am checking the toxicity of these nanoparticles, and other organic molecules on the primary producers i.e. algae.

Additionally, I am dealing with remediation technologies also.
