About me

In my group, we are engaged in basic to translational research based on Govt. of India research and innovation thrust areas. Considering the fact of foreseeable existence of fossil fuels, our key focus of research is to investigate alternative and sustainable energy resource, which has certain societal as well as industrial impact with lower carbon foot print.
