Current profession
Current professional activities type:ResearchA young, energetic, passionate chemist who aspires to live a professionally integrated & dynamic life that reflects my career position and offers a great chance to contribute significantly to society. I'm an experienced researcher with a demonstrated history of working on various projects to synthesize biologically and pharmaceutically important molecules. I’ve synthesized biologically diversified molecules via different multi-step synthetic approaches (up to 15 steps). My expertise includes project design and management, data analysis, interpretation, and the development and implementation of research tools. I enjoy generating new ideas and devising feasible solutions to broadly relevant problems. My current research interests are Medicinal Chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry, Catalysis, Supramolecular Chemistry, and Carbohydrate Chemistry.
