Rahul Verma received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Chemistry and Forensic Science from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, India. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Material Chemistry at the CSIR–Indian Institute of Toxicological Research (CSIR-IITR), Lucknow, under the supervision of Dr. Satyakam Patnaik. His research focuses on the design and development of advanced metal–organic framework (MOF)-based materials for a range of emerging applications, including CO₂ capture and conversion, atmospheric water harvesting, semiconductor materials, 3D printing inks, and biomedical applications such as cancer therapy.
During his doctoral research, he has developed extensive expertise in advanced characterization and analytical techniques, including AFM, Raman spectroscopy, BET surface analysis, TGA, XRD, ICP–MS, IC, XPS, RT-PCR, as well as both in vitro and in vivo studies. He is also proficient in a variety of scientific and computational tools such as Gaussian, VASP, PyMOL, Discovery Studio, AutoDock, CrystalMaker, Design-Expert, Prism, Origin, and ChemDraw for computational modeling and data analysis.
Driven by a strong interest in organic synthesis and anticancer drug design, Rahul gained additional research training under Professor Lallan Mishra at the Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, between 2015 and 2017. In 2018, he further strengthened his expertise in advanced analytical instrumentation at the CSIR–Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI), Lucknow, where he specialized in LC–MS (MassLynx), HRMS (MassHunter), MALDI-TOF, and NMR spectroscopy (1D/2D, TopSpin).
