About me
I am a passionate and self-motivated researcher with a doctoral degree from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, India and a proud Commonwealth Scholarship Alumni from Cranfield University, United Kingdom. Additionally, I have a solid foundation in Environmental Science background with 5+ years of research experience in various projects, most of them relating to biochar and activated carbon application, wastewater treatment, phytolith production from silica-rich sources and greenhouse gas mitigation-based government-funded projects. As a DST-funded INSPIRE fellowship independent researcher, I am motivated about the research with excellent communication skills and a proficient user of software such as Origin, SPSS, CasaXPS, Agress, LCA and MS Office products including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. In addition, hands-on experience in Microwave digestion, Elemental analyser, TGA, FTIR, XRD, SEM, XPS, BET surface area analyser, DLS, and Zetasizer instruments. Currently working on a UKRI-funded project with industrial and academic partners. Seeking sound roles as an independent women researcher in the circular economy, sustainability, waste management and climate change domain to enhance my scope and skills. I am open to explore interdisciplinary research ideas and learn new things.
