Research Associate (CSIR), Indian Institute Of Technology, Kanpur, U.P. India. From 01/07/2006 to 30/06/2007.
Eleven years and one month (11 yrs. and 01 months, as on 31st July 2021) of experience in Teaching at Patna Women’s College.

Research Experience:
I have more than five years working experience as a Research fellow (Project Assistant and Senior Research Fellow) in the material Science Division, Regional Research
Laboratory (CSIR), Jorhat, Assam.
I have worked in the laboratory of Prof. P. K. Bharadwaj for a year on the synthesis of coordination polymers and their use as a heterogeneous catalyst.
Five and half years research experience in the area of Organometallic chemistry with an aim to develop an efficient catalyst for carbonylation of alcohols to acids and to produce
bio-chemically active molecules. Also have experience in development of an industrial process for making high strength proppants.

1. Project Assistant: For two years in a “Oil Industrial Development Board” sponsored project on “Scale up study for making high strength proppants” – from 2000 march to 2002 August.
2. CSIR Senior Research Fellowship (SRF) : From 2002 September to 2005 August.
3. CSIR Research Associate (RA): From 2006 July to 2007 August.
4. Patent appreciation : From RRL Jorhat
