I obtained my Ph.D. degree from University of Kerala (from the group of Dr. A. Ajayaghosh, National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST), Trivandrum) in 2009. After that I worked as postdoctoral researcher in MPI-NIMS International Lab @ Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Germany (Sep. 2009-Oct. 2010), National Institute for Materials Science, Japan (Nov. 2010-Apr. 2012) and University of Namur, Belgium (Sep. 2012-Aug. 2014). In September 2014, I joined CSIR-NCL as a senior scientist. My research interests include Functional π-Assemblies, Organic Field Effect Transistors and Solar Cells, Solvent-free Organic Liquids.
