About me
I am a Ph.D. in Chemistry with expertise in nanomaterials and transition metal macrocyclic complexes with biomedical applications. With teaching experience as an Assistant Professor, I strive to inspire students through concept-driven learning, research exposure, and hands-on laboratory skills. I mentor students to think critically, explore innovative ideas, and build a strong foundation for careers in science and research.
Interests: My research interests lie in the field of coordination chemistry, nanomaterials, and bioinorganic chemistry with a particular focus on the design and synthesis of nanosized transition metal macrocyclic complexes based on amide ligands. My work emphasizes the development of efficient and environmentally friendly synthetic strategies such as sonochemical methods, to produce structurally well-defined metal complexes with enhanced functional properties. A major focus of my research is the structural and physicochemical characterization of nanocomplexes using advanced analytical techniques including FTIR, UV–Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), FESEM, thermal analysis, and magnetic studies to understand their geometry, morphology, and nano-dimensional features. These studies help establish clear structure–property relationships that are crucial for designing functional metal-based materials. Another key dimension of my research is exploring the **biological potential of metal complexes**, particularly their antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities My work aims to contribute to the development of metal-based therapeutic agents that can address pressing global challenges such as antibiotic resistance and emerging microbial infections. Looking ahead, my future research will focus on expanding the scope of macrocyclic and nanostructured metal complexes for biomedical and catalytic applications. I aim to explore their potential in targeted drug delivery, anticancer activity, and advanced therapeutic systems, as well as investigate their role in functional materials for sensing, catalysis, and energy-related applications. By integrating green synthesis approaches, nanotechnology, and bioinorganic chemistry, my long-term goal is to develop innovative, sustainable, and application-oriented materials that can contribute to advancements in healthcare, environmental sustainability, and modern chemical science.
