Professional Experience
CSIR Junior Research Fellow
Department of Chemistry, India
Aug 2003 - Jul 2006

My work was mainly aimed at synthesis and characterisation of Nanomaterials by Soft Soft-Solution Methods for gas sensing and catalytic applications. Here i also fabricated a fully automated and computer-controlled Gas Sensing MEasurement Setup for characterisation of the sensors and preparing their datasheets. I also fabricated computer-controlled Thermogravimetry (TG) Setup for measuring the weight change of samples versus heating temperature.

Rajiv Gandhi Research Fellow
National Chemical Laboratory, India
May 2003 - Jun 2003

I have been doing extensive research in the fied of nanoceramics, nanotechnology, catalytic and sensing applications.
New nanostructured functional materials and electroceramic materials are inevitable required for the next generation of electronics, microelectronics and data storage. We have been investigating these new nanostructured functional inorganic materials, by devising novel fabrication techniques and understanding the correlation between their structue and properties.
