Biography

Being a passionate chemist, I am trying to solve some fundamental question of the nature. Due to my passion, love for science and an inherent habit to explore the new, I am doing my research work in the area of organic luminophore, 2D and nanomaterials. I devoted myself to prepared different types of materials like pyrene and phenothiazine based luminophores, organogel and carborane protected ultra-stable noble metal nanoclusters and study their electronic, optical and mechanical properties in atomic scale. Besides my scientific engagements, I have also played football and badminton.
