My qualifications
Currently, I am pursuing a PhD at CSIR-National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, India. The topic of my PhD research is “Physico-chemical properties of atmospheric aerosols: implications for human health.” I earned an M.Phil. from the Central University of Gujarat, India and completed a Master’s degree in Environmental Sciences from the Central University of Rajasthan, India. I was a gold medalist in Botany Honours during my graduation and I firmly believe that learning is a never-ending process.
