About
I am an academician and researcher specializing in nanocomposite materials, with a particular focus on the extraction of silica from agricultural waste. With 16 years of teaching and 4years of research experience, I have contributed to several national and international journals. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi, Karnataka. My core expertise lies in the synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites for applications in photocatalysis, antioxidant activity, electrochemical analysis, and green sensor detection.
