Background

I come from Kakinada, a small coastal town in South-Eastern India. In my leisure time, I enjoy activities like hiking and swimming.

Project Description

My research focuses on an in-depth study of chemical catalyst surfaces. I employ computer simulations of molecules to gain insights into catalytic reaction mechanisms. By using Density Functional Theory (DFT) molecular simulations, I derive detailed insights on how these reactions take place at the atomic level. My current research topics include: (a) Electrocatalytic Propane dehydrogenation to Propylene at low temperatures, (b) Selective Electrochemical CO2 reduction to multicarbon products, and (c) Rational design of materials for enhanced solar energy conversion.
