About Me

Short Bio

I have completed my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) from Kurukshetra University in Chemical Engineering and Master of Technology (M. tech) from IIT Delhi in Atmospheric Sciences. My master's project involved working on the impact of aerosols vertical profile on its radiative forcing and climate over India.

I joined Ph.D. in Dec 2019, supervised jointly by Prof. Priyanka Kaushal and Prof. K. K. Pant. She has been endowed with the Prime Minister Research Fellowship (PMRF) as a lateral entry. My research area focuses on removing polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from tailings water using activated biochar.

Areas Of Interest

Wastewater, pyrolysis, Activated biochar, Adsorption
