Experiences:

1. THEORETICAL REACTION DYNAMICS, LAB; IISER-KOLKATA

Working with Dr. Ashwani Kumar Tiwari from Febuary 2011. Presently we are studing the "Reaction Dynamics of Dissociation of Water molecule on Cupper surface.

2. INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH, KOLKATA

Worked under Dr. Pradeep Ghorai for a period of 45 days (July-August) in summer 2010. Studied the properties of a large number of Argon atoms in a box with the help of Molecular Dynamics.

3. HOMI BHABHA ATOMIC CENTRE FOR SCIENCE EDUCATION MUMBAI (HBCSE)

National Initiative on Undergraduate Science (NIUS), Summer project experience on Computational Chemistry project titled: “Correlating Hammett Constant with Molecular Electrostatic Potential: A Case Study with Mono-Substituted Naphthalene Molecule.” Worked under HOD of Chemistry dept. Dr. Savita Ladage and Post doctoral fellow Dr. Milind Deshmukh. Duration: Four Months.

4. ASIAN SCIENCE CAMP – 2009, (TSUKUBA, JAPAN)

Represented India at the third Asian Science Camp held in Tsukuba, Japan. In this camp we had a good interaction with seven Nobel Laureates and other world class scientists in the fields of Physics and Chemistry. Secured a position in top 16 in a poster making competition.
