I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Schatz Group at Northwestern University. Currently, I am working on functionalized defects in low-dimensional materials for heralded photon emission and metal ion separations by 2D materials.

Prior joining the Schatz group, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University (IU), Bloomington, USA, at Institute for Molecular Science (IMS), Okazaki, Japan and at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB), India. Upon receiving the fellowship from Science and Engineering Research Board, SERB Indo-U.S. postdoctoral fellowship, I moved to Bloomington in December 2017 to join the Raghavachari group at IU. I completed my Ph.D. from the IITB and received the award “Excellence in Ph.D thesis work” from IITB. I had worked on fluorescent properties of organic dye molecules and assemblies, and Molecules-in-Molecules (MIM) fragment-based method at IU, heterogeneous catalysis at IMS, homogeneous catalysis, and spin-related molecular properties at IITB.

Outside work, I enjoy travelling and cooking.
