About
Summary
I am looking for a challenging position in a prestigious organization, where my exceptional skills and abilities would be challenged as well as prove beneficial to the organization.
In 2014, I completed my doctorate in chemistry. During this period I worked on the design and synthesis of organic materials having potential applications for organic solar cells and improved my synthetic skills in performing several C-C/C-N bond coupling reactions, which are crucial for developing organic materials for organic electronics applications.
In 2016, I completed my first postdoctoral position at UNICAMP (Brazil). During this period I worked on the synthesis and characterization of non-fullerene /fullerene acceptors as the electron transporting materials for bulk heterojunction solar cells/perovskite solar cells (PSC).
In 02/2017, I started my second post-doctoral position at the Indian Institute of Technology-Indore (IIT-Indore) and continued my research interest on PSCs. During this period I worked on the design, synthesis, and characterization of organic small molecules/fullerene derivatives as hole/electron transporting materials for PSC applications.
From 08/2019, I have been working at Advaita Life Sciences as senior scientific officer. Here I am working on synthesizing various organic molecules and characterization of synthesized molecules with NMR, mass spectrometry, HPLC etc.
I am acting as a reviewer for international journals, ACS Applied Energy Materials, New Journal of Chemistry, and Synthetic Metals.
As a member of organization, I can provide:
1. Maturity, honesty, and ability to look at great challenges as great opportunities.
2. Enthusiastically hard work in a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative environment.
3. Ability to develop and lead a team
My research interests include the design, synthesis, and characterization of organic molecules having potentiality for various applications.
