He also worked as project leader in Jubilant Chemsys, Noida for short time.. Then he moved to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (2007-2009) to research nano-catalysis and MW-assisted new synthetic methods for green chemistry with Prof. R. S. Varma. Currently, he is working as senior research scientist at KAUST catalysis center directed by Prof. J. M. Basset. His research interests are in the area of advanced nano-materials for perfect catalysis. He has over 50 publications including various review articles and book chapters. See less
