About

​

I am originally from Kolkata, India. After completing my PhD in chemistry from the University of Rhode Island, I joined the Sirianni lab as a postdoc in the summer of 2018. An organic chemist by training, my expertise is on supramolecular organic chemistry of cyclodextrins for sensing and catalysis applications. I am presently working on the development of a) cyclodextrin-based nanoparticles for Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) delivery to the central nervous system; b) dye/radio-labeling of polyester particles for studying their in-vivo detection and distribution. Apart from research, I enjoy playing chess and learning about MOF/reticular chemistry in my free time.
