Designated Assistant Professor
Profile
I am an experimental biophysicist, and my research is focussed on studying macromolecular structures, functions and dynamics using spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography techniques. My research includes understanding energy transduction in fluorescent proteins, and bacterial membrane proteins driving bio-energetics of cells and development of tools for facilitating crystallographic data-collection. In addition to research, I enjoy teaching biophysics and general courses to undergraduate students. I am also a startup co-founder, and actively involved in strengthening international and entrepreneurship programs in the University.
