Welcome to My Personal Website!!

I am a self-driven, quick starter, and passionate researcher with a curious mind, thriving on solving complex and challenging real-world problems. My professional journey revolves around the fascinating realms of nanotechnology, pharmaceutical science, chemical engineering, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, and biotechnology.

Currently, I am deeply immersed in the synthesis of porphyrinoid-based nanomaterials. My focus revolves around crafting self-assembled nanoparticles, covalent organic frameworks, and metal-organic frameworks. The overarching goal of my work is to harness these materials for their potential applications in antibacterial & anticancer photodynamic therapy and photocatalysis. In essence, I am actively involved in creating nanomaterials with unique porphyrin structures that demonstrate efficacy in combating bacteria through light-based processes, while also exhibiting remarkable photocatalytic properties. This research holds significant promise for advancing materials that can find applications in the realms of medicine, particularly in the domain of antibacterial & anticancer treatments, and environmental science, with potential implications in photocatalytic processes.

Driven by a relentless curiosity, I find joy in exploring the intersections of various scientific disciplines, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the pursuit of knowledge and excellence. My work is not just a profession; it's a passion that fuels my commitment to making meaningful contributions to the advancement of healthcare and sustainable green energy resources for the betterment of human lives.
