About

I am a dedicated PhD scholar at IIT Patna, specializing in electrochemistry, photocatalysis, and corrosion science. My current research, sponsored by GAIL, investigates internal corrosion in natural gas pipelines caused by triethylene glycol carryover. This involves rigorous testing of corrosion rates using electrochemical methods (e.g., polarization, impedance) and weight-loss techniques under high-pressure conditions, aiming to enhance pipeline integrity and safety.

Concurrently, I am advancing electrochemical CO2 reduction to value-added fuels and photocatalytic H2 production, with a focus on scalable reactor designs and catalyst optimization for sustainable energy applications.

Prior to my PhD, I earned an MSc in Chemistry from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, where my thesis explored photo/electrocatalytic water splitting using nanomaterial catalysts, complemented by DFT and molecular modeling studies for biological applications.

I bring expertise in advanced characterization techniques, including XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, gas chromatography, HPLC, SEM, TEM, XPS, BET surface area analysis, contact angle measurement, TGA, and NMR. A lifelong learner, I am passionate about daily growth through innovative research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and translating lab insights into real-world impact.
