About

Paragraph 1: I am a molecular modeling chemist with 20+ years of experience in chemical kinetics and reaction mechanisms, focusing on atmospheric chemistry and combustion processes. I have used Gaussian, MOLPRO, MESMER, ORCA and other quantum chemical tools to analyze systems from small molecules to medium clusters. I am proficient in data analysis and visualization, and I enjoy interdisciplinary collaboration.

Paragraph 2: I have led and participated in international research projects across universities in India, the USA, Australia, and Finland. I am skilled in project management, scientific writing, and communicating results to both technical and non-technical audiences. I am fluent in English and Hindi, with working knowledge of Finnish and Bengali; I value mentoring and cross-disciplinary teamwork.
