Mallika Pathak is an active researcher in the field of Green synthesis of Nanomaterials and Bimolecular Interactions. She has been able to successfully publish her work in high impact peer reviewed journals (total publications: 12). Also, she is the reviewer of many Journals like Medicinal Chemistry Research, Spectrochimica acta etc. She is a faculty advisor to DU Innovation Projects 2015-16: MH 306 Design of Affordable Water Purification devices using Green and Ecofriendly Silver Nanoparticles and 2013-14: MH 203 Efficacy of natural dyes in dyeing and imparting antimicrobial properties to different textile materials and various Summer Projects. Through these she has been encouraging students to follow an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to learning. Paper emerging from these studies have resulted in two research articles in peer-reviewed journals, 2 full papers in Conference Proceedings besides many oral and poster presentations at national and international conferences.

Current profession
Current professional activities type:ResearchTeachingDr Mallika Pathak has been working as an Assistant Professor at Miranda House for the past twelve years. She received AusAID Australian Leadership Award Fellowship (ALAF): Building leadership capacity in undergraduate science teaching in India at University of Sydney in April 2013 that enabled a three week stay at University of Sydney. The collaborative project for nine Miranda House ALAF Fellows received total AUD 55000. She also received Best Display Award and Best Innovative Idea certificate for Innovation Project MH-203 (Efficacy of natural dyes in dyeing and imparting antimicrobial properties to different textile materials) in 2015 and MH 306 (Design of Affordable Water Purification devices using Green and Ecofriendly Silver Nanoparticles ) in 2016. She specializes in teaching Physical Chemistry and has a keen interest in Computational Chemistry, Bimolecular Interactions and Green Synthesis of Nanomaterials.
