Title

2002 to 2007

Ph.D. Thesis

Focussed on interdisciplinary area of surface modification of titanium to control fouling Ph.D work at IGCAR. The project involved developing different types of TiO2 coatings by anodisation, and characterising them for physical, microbiological and corrosion aspects with the objective of controlling fouling in sea water environment. The main outcome of the thesis includes the development of anodised titanium technology providing effective control over microbial fouling, and the application of the photocatalytic effect of anodised titanium.

2004 to 2007

Indian Institute of Science Bangalore and IGCAR collaborative project

Worked in the DAE-IISc collaborative project entitled, “Biomineralisation of manganese on titanium by bacteria present in the coastal waters of Kalpakkam” as Project Assistant from April 2004 to April 2007. Hands on experience in developing various types of coatings and surface modification on titanium through anodising and other methods. Apart from utilising regular characterisation tools/techniques she has extensively used Epifluorescence microscopy, XRD, electrochemical and microbiological methodologies. Community studies of biofilm on material surfaces exposed to seawater and freshwater. Biofilm characterization using DGGE.

May 2007 to November 2007
