Kavita did her MSc and PhD from Department of Physics, University of Pune (Now known as Savitribai Phule Pune University). After a short stint at CEA-Grenoble as a post-doctoral fellow, she worked at Centre for Modeling and Simulation in various capacities. In 2010, she joined NCL as scientist fellow. She is currently a Principal Scientist at CSIR-NCL and leads an enthusiastic group of young researchers. Her research interests include computational heterogeneous catalysis, understanding reaction mechanism in industrially important reactions like ethylene epoxidation, in silico design of catalyst for CO2 to value added products, Methane activation, MeOH to DME. In the field of energy/storage materials, her group is employing DFT based models to understand lithiation and delithiation process. Developing ML models based on available DFT as well as experimental data, to predict properties or design catalyst is also an active area of research in the group.
