      2015 - 2019
      Doctor of Philosophy - PhD Computational Science

      My PhD thesis was on Rational design of Organic dyes for efficient capture of Near-Infrared light from Solar Spectrum. During this time I learnt computational modelling of photophysics and optoelectronics at atomistic scale. Moreover, I also got trained for optimizing catalyst performance via intuitive models but yet grounded in quantum physics.

      4th Year Integrated M.Sc student in the Department of Chemistry

    • University of Hyderabad

      May 2012 - Jul 2012
      Summer Project

      I did a summer project on materials chemistry where I was able to synthesize a completely new polymer and studied the magnetic effects in it using a quantum chemistry software called ORCA.I was able to prove theoretically the results of my mentor's old manuscript using this software.

      Research Intern

      Studied theoretical aspects of Magnetochemistry Learned FORTRAN

    • Pfizer Animal Healthcare (ZOETIS)

      May 2013 - Jul 2013
      Summer Trainee

      As a summer trainee I gained a hands on experience in the R&D department. I was able to discover a novel method out of around 100 experimented methods to synthesize a beta-agonist.I then worked with the analytical team and learnt the methodology and the use of various instruments like HPLC, UPLC, Dissolution, KF, Powder X-RD to study the pharmacokinetics of various drug molecules.

    • National Chiao Tung University

      May 2014 - Jul 2014
      Summer Intern

      Accepted for summer internship through the Elite Internship Programme.Worked on spectra simulation using FORTRAN, C and Matlab.Researched about adiabatic and non-adiabatic transitions and tried to formulate an algorithm to predict the rate.

    • Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

      Jul 2015 - Dec 2019
      PHD Student

      Performed fundamental studies using quantum-chemistry simulations to develop novel organic dye and organic LED molecules covering a wide range of spectrum. Developed deep understanding of fundamental organic reactions and collaborated with experimental groups to validate the theoretical outcomes.

    • Shell

      Mar 2020 - now
      Researcher

      I am primarily working with the low carbon and catalyst business of Shell to fundamentally understand and optimize their process via multiscale computational and process modelling. Most of my work is involved in leading and development of novel carbon capture technology and process-technoeconomic evaluation of Shell Blue Hydrogen Process (SBHP) projects for licensing.
