A Bit About Me
Driven by a passion for research and a commitment to excellence, I am currently pursuing my doctoral studies under the guidance of Dr. Shikha Gandhi at IISER Berhampur, having completed my master's degree at the University of Kalyani. As a recipient of the prestigious Prime Minister's Research Fellowship (PMRF), I am honored to contribute to cutting-edge scientific endeavors. My academic journey has been fortified by the successful qualification of the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) through CSIR NET and the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). I am dedicated to advancing knowledge in my field.

Research area
My current research focuses primarily on various catalytic methodologies, specifically exploring N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and NHC-synergistic catalysis. Additionally, I am engaged in investigations pertaining to transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation.
