I am an experimental thermodynamicist who studies energetics of different processes employing suitable calorimeters at School of Molecular Sciences, Arizona State University.
As a chemist by training, I obtained my Ph.D in Inorganic Solid State Chemistry in Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. During my Ph.D, I was involved in synthesis, structural and optical characterization of inorganic pigments. I adopted different synthetic techniques like conventional solid state, sol-gel, flux mediated, hydrothermal, solvothermal methods, to etc. to form single phase materials. I got trained in PXRD Rietveld refinement, UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and TG-DSC methods.
I joined as a postdoc in Dr. Navrotsky's experimental thermodynamics group to synthesize nuclear waste and thermal barrier coating materials including crystalline oxides, glasses and measure their thermodynamic properties at University of California, Davis.
I moved to Arizona State University with Dr. Navrotsky to continue my experimental thermodynamic research on different processes relevant to various applications.
