An interdisciplinary researcher is passionate in the application based research and innovations. Focusing on major water-related problems worldwide, I have traveled seven years passionately in Prof. Pradeep’s research group (IITM) understanding the solutions for severe impacts created by the contaminations caused in the “” DRINKING WATER”. I have been delivering successive research technologies from lab bench to real fields, trouncing the pollution impacts in Water. A universal technology to bestow a ‘truly clean’ potable water is my fundamental dream. I am also concentrating on mass spectrometric signatures to understand the membrane borne quorum communications within microbial systems. Interdisciplinary research that merges material science, chemistry, nanotechnology, and microbiology is my current area of science. Project management, administrative intelligence are my other strengths.
