Profile Summary

I am currently working as a Technical Officer-A at the ICMR-Vector Control Research Centre (ICMR-VCRC), Puducherry, under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Alongside my professional role, I am pursuing a part-time PhD in Chemistry at Pondicherry University. My research focuses on the development and evaluation of plant-based bioactive compounds for vector control, particularly targeting mosquitoes and sand flies. I am especially interested in eco-friendly, non-insecticidal alternatives suitable for use in biodiversity-sensitive and non-electrified areas. My work bridges applied entomology, essential oil chemistry, and green formulations for public health interventions.
