About

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value is the mantra that gives me the impetus to work hard in my field of specialization with an overall aim of development of Science and Humanity. With desire to excel, I started learning from Seminars besides regular MSc classes and participated in my first seminar on “Recent Advances in Chemistry” (RAC-14) under UGC special assistance program (DRS-2). For Master thesis I chose academic project entitled “Adsorptive removal of Arsenic (V) from water onto Iron- Zirconium Binary Oxide-Coated Sand” and published my work in Journal of Molecular Liquids. I have also worked as a Project Assistant on the project entitled “Ultra-fast and effective treatment of water by using semiconducting nanomaterials” and published my work in Journal of Material Science. I have enrolled in VNIT, Nagpur for my Doctorate degree on the topic of "Deep desulfurization of liquid fuels", the aim of my work is to develop advanced novel materials used for the protection of environmental application.
