I am a research chemist with a strong interest in molecular electrocatalysis, redox-active ligands, and sustainable energy conversions. My work focuses on the design and mechanistic understanding of transition metal complexes and adaptive ligand systems for catalytic applications, particularly in the activation of small molecules such as CO₂, protons, and O₂. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work across both academia and industry in India, Germany, and Canada, contributing to the development of electrochemical membrane reactors, bimetallic porphyrin-based catalysts, and transition-metal-free catalytic methodologies. My approach combines synthetic inorganic chemistry, electrochemical analysis, and advanced spectroscopic techniques to uncover fundamental insights that can drive real-world applications. At Freie Universität Berlin, my current research continues to explore the interface of coordination chemistry and catalysis, with an emphasis on processes relevant to green hydrogen production, CO₂ utilization, and value-added chemical transformations. I am passionate about translating molecular design principles into practical catalytic systems.
