Hi!

I have completed my B.Sc Chemistry from Gobi Arts and Science College, Bharathiyar University Coimbatore and M.Sc Applied Chemistry from Anna University Chennai. I started my research career as a trainee at the R&D center of Shasun Pharmaceuticals Ltd Chennai.

 

Early in 2011, I joined Dr. KMS group as a project assistant involving in organic syntheses and working on supramolecular organogels. Soon I developed my interest in the self-assembly of organic molecules. In January 2014 I have registered for the Ph.D. program and continuing my research in the field of self-assembly.

 

My hobbies are reading Tamil literature (and of course chemistry literature too!), watching classic movies, playing cricket.
