About Me: |
My primary research interests are in Reaction kinetics and mechanism. I am also interested in the area of Photocatalytic degradation. Other than my own research and student supervision, I have also discharged some administrative responsibilities as Head of the Department from 2016 to 2019. I have discharged the duties of Joint Student Welfare Officer (JSWO) from 2005 to 2009 and as Student Welfare Officer (SWO) from 2009 to 2015. |
