About

I recently completed my PhD in Inorganic Medicinal Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata. My research focuses on the design and development of metal-based therapeutic and diagnostic agents, particularly for cancer and infectious diseases. I have expertise in organic and inorganic synthesis, photophysical and analytical characterization, cellular studies, and molecular probe development. Beyond research, I enjoy reading newspapers, exploring scientific illustration and digital tools, and following international relations and diplomacy. I am committed to continuous learning and aim to apply my interdisciplinary skills in a stimulating and collaborative research environment.
