RESEARCH INTERESTS

Heterogeneous Catalysis

We are deeply interested in the development of novel heterogeneous catalysts for environmental remediation, organic transformations, rocket propellants...

EDUCATION

1999 - 2003

DDU Gorakhpur University 

Ph.D.

Drug Delivery

We are also interested in developing drug delivery systems such as nanocrystals, solid lipid nano particles and polymer nano particles for poorly water soluble drugs and for cancer therapy.

1996 - 1999

Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam

M.Sc. Chemistry (Polymer Science)

1993 - 1996

Kerala University

B.Sc. Polymer Chemistry

Nano Materials

We prepare nano materials for catalysis and sensing applications, especially by using swollen liquid crystals as 'soft' templates. We are keenly interested in the synthesis of a nanostructures of metals, metal oxides, conducting polymers and their nanocomposites, especially with pristine graphene.

Flow Chemistry

This is an area that we are currently focusing to prepare nanomaterials using flow chemistry methods.
