About Me
Hello, I'm Padma Saini. I'm a graduate with a master's degree in applied chemistry. I have experience working with supramolecules and nanomaterials. My research interests revolve around both supramolecular chemistry and renewable energy. I enjoy organic synthesis and tackling new challenges while synthesizing new molecules. In my free time, I create art and study thriller & mystery books.
