KEYSKILLS AND EXPERTISE

  • Working in the Research Laboratory under the Guidance of my Professor Dr.Huixin he in Material Science and their applications. Mostly dealing with graphene synthesis and its applications, and to some extent with nanotubes and carbon fibers
  • Currently working on the synthesis of porous graphene sheets directly from graphite (not from Graphene oxide), to control the pore size and explore its application in various organic reactions
  • Worked in the fabrication of large graphene sheets in an ecofriendly approach i.e. without the use of harsh oxidants and release of toxic gases in the environment.
  • Worked under the supervision of my Professor and a Senior Scientist Yufeng Ma in Polestar Technologies, Inc. collaboration project “Enhanced charge transfer in Biological Molecules onNanostructured electrode surfaces” for 6 months in my college laboratory.( Nov2012-April 2013)
  • Worked as a teaching assistant for one whole year in general chemistry Lab (2012)
  • Involved in various seminars in the School and college level.
  • Industrial Training in Analytical Department for Four weeks in AurobindoPharma Pt. Ltd, India.
  • Attended HPLC workshop in Osmania University, India.
