I submitted my Ph.D thesis in August, 2014 from Central Leather Research Institute, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. I am looking for Postdoc position in any research group.
I did my Master and Bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering. I have 18 international research publications from peer reviewed journals and two national patent to my research credit.

I received Senior Research Fellowship award from CSIR, New Delhi in 2011.
I received Best young scientist for oral presentation in 8th Asia international Leather conference, 2010.
