My research interests are in the fields of Biophysical chemistry and surfactant science.

I am interested in the characterization of novel carbohydrate-based surfactants and cyclodextrin analogues, and their interaction with lipid membranes; using various spectroscopic and thermodynamic tools – NMR, IR, Fluorescence, AFM, Langmuir monolayers, DSC, TGA, ITC.

I am also interested in the development and study of Green solvents for the extraction and synthesis of pharmaceutically active compounds.
