Summary:
I am presently a Post Doctorate Fellow at National Institute of Nanotechnology and university of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I have done my M.Sc. (Organic Chemistry) in 2004 and Ph.D. in 2008 from Department of Chemistry, University of Delhi. During PhD, I have done my research work at University of Delhi and National Physical laboratory, New Delhi, India. In the course of my research, I have been engaged in preparation and characterization of various self assembled monolayers, conducting polymers, nanomaterials and nanocomposites for biosensor application. I have utilized the Langmuir-Blodgett trough for fabrication of conducting polymer based monolayers. I have a strong desire to pursue my career in Research & Development related toward chemistry, biosensors, nanotechnology, bio-nanotechnology and related areas.
