Biography

Accomplished researcher in organic synthesis and catalysis with extensive experience in both industry and academia. My professional journey began with two years of invaluable industrial experience, followed by a doctorate at CEG, Anna University, India. I have conducted extensive postdoctoral research in China, Chile, and Estonia, including leading a prestigious research project funded by the Chilean National Agency for Research and Development (ANID) in collaboration with the University of Chile (2021-2024). I have authored eleven publications in SCI journals as the first author, hold two patents, and actively engage as a journal reviewer. My expertise lies in heterocyclic ionic liquids for lignocellulosic modification of lignin-based chelating agents and pharmaceutical building block materials. My interdisciplinary research spans cell culture and in vivo experiments, driven by a passion for advancing scientific knowledge and fostering innovation in sustainable chemistry.
