I have been awarded M.Phil degree and Ph.D. degree in solution thermodynamics by the
Veer
Narmad South Gujarat University. After that I have worked on research project
entitled
“Thermodynamic, acoustic and viscometric behaviour of imidazolium based room
temperature
ionic liquids in polar organic solvents” funded by Department of Science and
Technology
(DST), New Delhi under fast track young scientist scheme for 3 years. I joined
Central
Salt
& Marine Chemical Research Institute (CSIR-CSMCRI), Bhavnagar, Gujarat as Scientist
in
2011
and worked on study phase equilibria of multi component salt water systems and its
applications in recovery of high purity salt from sea water, sub soil brine and
saline
industrial effluents. I moved to VNSGU as Assistant Professor in Chemistry. I am
co-author
of 2 book chapters and 36 research papers.
Editorial Advisory Board of Journal of Chemical Engineering Data of American
Chemical
Society (2022-2024)
I am teaching topics related to Physical Chemistry mainly Thermodynamics,
Statistical
Thermodynamics Chemical kinetics and Electro Chemistry.
My research work is related designing and synthesis of Ionic liquids and Deep
Eutectic
Solvents. Study of physicochemical properties of mixture of ILs and DESs with
organic
solvents. We are also working on Liquid- Liquid Equilibria (LLE) of liquid mixtures
and
designing of Aqueous Biphasic System(ABS) and their application in extraction of
targeted
compounds.
