What brought me here?

My interest towards chemistry grew while I was doing my bachelor’s. I was lucky enough to have got people at many stages during my studies who have made me intrigued about how chemistry works. While in Master’s I made my mind that I want to do research in organic chemistry and I was fascinated about how enzymes in our body carry out so much complex transformations with ease. And that’s how I landed in the Schnitzer lab.

What makes me happy?

I like grooving to music. Also, I love spending time with my family and close friends. I believe I have a good sense of humour so I like when people laugh on my jokes.

What is my current smartphone background? Why? 

It’s a deity who I worship because I get a lot of confidence and strength by just looking at them.
