Projects

• Engaged as a Research Associate in CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in association with NIPER Kolkata in project entitled “BioSIMP: Bioactivity Spectrum of Indian Medicinal Plants” for the duration from November 2020 to April 2021. BioSIMP (BioActivity Spectrum of Indian Medicinal Plants) has been developed as a chemoinformatics open-source toolkit which is ready to use for research activities to solve problems related to identification of molecular structure from Indian medicinal plants (Ashwagandha) and for education as teaching kit for beginners in the area of chemoinformatics.
• Has gained experience as a Research Associate in CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in the CSIR Sponsored Project entitled “AI Based Compute cure for Cancer” for the duration from August 2019 to June 2020. The CSIR project entitled “AI based Compute Cure for Cancer” has been sanctioned by CSIR with industrial partner NVIDIA for the design and development of a Drug Discovery toolkit to handle Big Data automatically in a High Performance Computing environment for the design of novel anti-cancer drugs utilizing Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligent systems.
• Involved as Research Associate in DRDO sponsored project entitled “Development of Chemoinformatics portal for assessment of novel high performance energetic material” in CSIR-NCL, Pune for the duration from July 2016 to February 2019. The objective of the project is to develop a Java based software toolkit for the design and virtual screening of novel high energy material using machine learning techniques, high performance computing and big data analytics.
• Worked as a project assistant, on SERB-DST sponsored project entitled “Ontology based reactivity modeling system for organic chemists through a semantic structure markup method” where in the aim of the project was to develop a knowledge based standalone Java software and techniques for encoding organic chemical reactivity using chemical ontology.
