I am an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Tribhuvan University, Amrit Campus, Department of Chemistry, Nepal. I completed my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering in August 2025 from the Department of Nanoconvergence Engineering, Jeonbuk National University, Republic of Korea, with a focus on the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials for energy storage and conversion applications. My research interests include electrospun carbon nanofibers, MXenes and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived hybrid materials for supercapacitors, hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction (water splitting), and lithium-sulfur batteries. I am passionate about developing functional nanomaterials that address current energy and environmental challenges.

About ANGEL:
The Advanced Nanomaterials & Green Energy Laboratory (ANGEL) in Nepal focuses on the engineering and synthesis of advanced nanomaterials such as MOFs, MXenes, carbon nanofibers, and transition metal-based nanomaterials and their composites for sustainable energy applications. Our research targets Green Hydrogen production through electrocatalysis (HER/OER), designing high-performance flexible/wearable supercapacitors [both symmetric (SSC) and asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) devices] and lithium-sulfur / zinc-air batteries. Through these efforts, we aim to support affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly energy innovations that contribute to climate resilience and sustainable development.
