Work History

Synthesis and Evaluation of ZIF-67-Based Nanocompo

Functional materials and material chemistry lab, Department of physiology, Saveetha Dental C
Chennai
06.2025 - Current
  • Synthesized ZIF-67/TiO2/MXene secondary and ternary composites; tested antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties via agar diffusion, DPPH assay, BSA denaturation assay, and currently conducting tests for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline.
  • Techniques: P-XRD, FTIR, PL spectroscopy, FE-SEM, and UV-VIS spectroscopy. Nanocomposites synthesized using the solvothermal method.
  • Supervisor: Dr. Subramanian Balachandran, Assistant Professor (Research), Saveetha Dental College and Hospital.

Photocatalytic Nanocomposites for Water Treatment

VIT Vellore
Vellore
04.2025 - Current
  • Developing polyurethane foam embedded with ZnAl-LDH, MXene, and g-C3N4, and a novel ternary composite for the degradation of methylene blue, phenol, and tetracycline.
  • Techniques: UV-Vis, XRD, FE-SEM, co-precipitation, thermal polymerization, etching.
  • Supervisor: Dr. Aabid Hussain Shaik, Associate Professor, VIT.

Sustainable Polymer Waste Management (Review Paper)

VIT Vellore
Vellore
06.2024 - Current
  • Conducted an extensive literature review on the environmental impact, classification, degradation, and recycling of polymeric wastes. Explored mechanical, chemical, thermal, and biological recycling methods, along with emerging techniques like pyrolysis and hydrothermal treatment.
  • Emphasized sustainable alternatives and value-added products from recycled plastics, contributing insights toward achieving circular economy goals, and reducing plastic pollution.
  • Under revision for journal submission.
