Research Interest

Our focus is on theoretical studies

-Chemical reactions; calculations of the cross sections and rate constants

of elementary processes and model six center exchange reaction by QCT method.

-Gas -surface chemisorption reaction, gas surface collisions using

time-dependent Schrodinger equation.

- fitting of potential energy surface

- Environmental chemical reactions, using Multivariate statistical

techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and Linear Regression.

- Physico-Chemical analysis of pollutants in Ganga river

- Heavy metals/ pollutants in Kanpur drinking water and ground water

- Physico-Chemical analysis of pollutants in Karnataka water
