About

I am a postdoctoral fellow in the research group of Prof. Jayant K. Singh, Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Kanpur. My work focuses on investigating the transport and interfacial properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for battery electrodes and ice recrystallization inhibition. Previously, I worked as a Research Associate at JNCASR (Bengaluru, India) with Prof. Balasubramanian Sundaram, where I studied ion transport in MOFs. I completed B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Mathematics with a Ph.D. in Computational Physical Chemistry (Supervisor: Dr. Sandeep Kumar Reddy) from Centre for Computational and Data Sciences, IIT Kharagpur (West Bengal, India). My research focuses on molecular modeling of physical phenomena using molecular simulations, quantum calculations, and machine learning.

While I am not working, I like reading books, cooking, spending time with family, and friends.
