I have received a PhD in Physical Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. During my Ph.D., I have probed the mechanism of protein adsorption on gold nanoparticle surface as well protein surface in a solution using the second harmonic light scattering (SHLS) technique and other spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Key skills acquired during my doctoral research include hands-on experience on laser, optical component alignment; designing and fabrication of physical chemistry apparatus, lab-view software, scientific report/paper writing and proposal grant writing.
Outside of research, I enjoy travel and painting.
