He obtained his doctoral degree in Computational Chemistry from Linköping University in Sweden. Subsequently, Hi worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Linnaeus University in Sweden, and served in the role of an Assistant Professor in GITAM University and SRM University – AP. His research group primarily focuses on Computational Photochemistry studies of molecular switches for solar energy storage applications, and performing Quantum Chemistry simulations on Quantum Computers. A long-term multidisciplinary project our research group has initiated recently is integrating the theory of Inflammaging in Immunology with the core principles of Ayurveda through Ayurgenomics.
