Hi

I want to pursue a research career in Computational and Theoretical Chemistry. The very prospect of making predictions about profound chemical and biological systems without actually carrying out the experiments thrills me. I aim to use these techniques to address global challenges of sustainable energy and pollution free environment. My interests range from understanding protein folding and its computational study, study of photosystem II and artificial photosynthesis, protein-drug interactions using classical Molecular Dynamics simulations to understanding host-guest interactions in macrocycles (Cucurbituril) using DFT principles and exploring scope for hydrogen storage in materials (Cucurbiturils).
