Profile Summary

I’m a scientist with a PhD in Chemistry from IIT Bhubaneswar and a postdoc from IIT Bombay. I currently work at ITC Life Sciences and Technology Centre, where I handle scientific analysis, documentation, and research communication. Over the years, I’ve written and edited research articles, proposals, literature reviews, technical reports, and presentations across chemistry, materials science, spectroscopy, catalysis, and molecular sciences. I am good at understanding and simplifying complex scientific ideas and rewriting them in a way that is clear, accurate, and publication-ready. Whether you need a detailed literature review, a well-structured project proposal, a polished manuscript, or a technical summary, I can help you present your work with clarity and confidence. I can also help you in solving any complex scientific riddle related to chemistry, biochemistry and material science.
