I completed my MSc in Chemistry at the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (India) in 2020. Following my master’s, I gained further research experience first as a Research Internee and subsequently as a Research Assistant, deepening my expertise in advanced molecular sciences.

Currently, I am a PhD candidate at Wageningen University & Research (Netherlands), conducting a research collaboration based at Jiaxing University (China). My doctoral research integrates organic chemistry, quantum chemistry, and computer science to understand and optimize modern “click” reactions, with a particular focus on Sulfur Flourine exchange (SuFEx) and Sulfur Phenolate Exchange (SuPhenEx) chemistries. By leveraging a suite of Advanced computational tools, including Density Functional Theory (DFT), Energy Decomposition Analysis (EDA), Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD), and Machine Learning (ML), my work aims to uncover the fundamental principles that govern chemical reactivity.

The ultimate goal of my research is to design more efficient, sustainable, and precisely controllable reactions for applications in drug discovery, materials science and chemical biology.
