About

I earned my Ph.D. from IISER Bhopal, where I worked on interdisciplinary projects focused on the synthesis of solution-processable porous organic polymers and their application in photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, and CO₂ capture. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), where my research centers on investigating photocatalytic activity within supramolecular systems. My core expertise includes transition metal-catalyzed C–C and C–N coupling polymerizations, electropolymerization, and electrografting techniques. I am proficient in handling electrochemical work stations, solar simulator, GC-TCD, GC-FID, GPC, UV-vis Spectrophotometer, and Fluorescence spectrophotometer. My passion lies in pushing the frontiers of materials science to develop novel materials with the goal of building a greener, energy-secure future.
