Research Summary :

His research focuses on Chemistry as the domain while the subdomains cover aspects like synthesis of novel nanomaterials, development of methods for characterization of these materials and applications of them in different walks of life. The research further is aimed at evolving greener pathways or routes for the synthesis of a host of advanced materials and analyzing them using various analytical tools to identify their characteristics which further reflect on their utility. Nanomaterials in particular used as catalysts, support materials, adsoebents, absorbents or sorbents etc. for bringing about various chemical reactions, remediation of contaminants like dyes, heavy metals, and other impurities found in industrial waste streams so as to make it harmless and safe to dispose off. The chemistry underlying the preparation of materials of diverse kind are examined and explored such that they find widespread uses in order to address numerous societal problems. The research is also focused upon development of optimum green analytical methods for the separation, analysis and quantification of many analytes of interest from various organic, inorganic materials. Employing right analytical tools, adopting right pathways and interpreting the results in a sound manner too is a prerequisite for furthering the research acumen. The research enlightens, enriches and expands the knowledge base of Chemistry domain in general.
