After completing my M.Sc in Inorganic Chemistry from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 2005 I moved to Max-Planck-Institut für Bioanorganische Chemie, Muelheim an der Ruhr, Germany. In the Max-Planck-Institute I worked in Prof. Karl Wieghardt’s group under the supervision of Prof. Phalguni Chaudhuri on malecular-magnetism project with 3d-transition metal to complete my Ph.D thesis. My Ph.D Thesis entitled “A Magneto-Structural Study on Polynuclear Metal Complexes” was completed in 2008, September.

In 2009 I moved to Laboratoire de Reconnaissance Ionique et Chimie de Coordination, SCIB/INAC/CEA Grenoble for my post-doctoral research. There I was working with Prof. Marinella Mazzanti on low valent uranium chemistry and also on U-oxo cluster. Together with uranium chemistry I was also doing the synthetic and the reactivity study of lanthanide complexes. In the lanthanide’s project our main aim was to activate CO2 using those newly synthesized lanthanide complexes.

In 2011 I moved to KIT as a Guest Scientist. In KIT I am working with Prof. Annie K. Powell on molecular magnetism. Synthesis of Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs) and there characterizations are the main of this project. Since December 2013 I am working as an assistant professor in Department of Chemistry, Presidency University.
