Piyush Kumar

About

I am Piyush Kumar. My home state is Uttar Pradesh, which is located in northern India. I'm pursuing a PhD at IISER Mohali right now. The area of my research is matrix isolation, infrared spectroscopy, and computational chemistry. I completed my master's degree at Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT Nagpur) after earning my bachelor's degree at Motilal Nehru College, University of Delhi. I am receiving funding for my PhD from DST-INSPIRE since I was awarded the gold medal in my master's degree at my university. In my spare time, I enjoy playing badminton and watching science fiction movies.
