Teaching : 8 Years
Teaching details :
After joining Assam Don Bosco University in 2015, I have been involved in designing courses for the Masters program in Biochemistry and in framing the syllabi for the Masters and BSc honours programs in Chemistry. I have taught graduate students of the department of Biosciences from 2015-2018. From 2017 onwards, since the inception of the masters program in Chemistry, I have been teaching graduate students of Chemistry. The honours program in Chemistry started in 2018 and since then I have taught a few courses to the undergraduate students of the department as well.
The MSc courses I have taught so far are:
(1) Analytical Techniques in Biological Sciences (Theory and Lab)
(2) Research Methodology and Biostatistics
(3) Advances in Biochemistry (theory)
(4) Cell and Molecular Biology (theory)
(5) Physiology (Theory and Lab)
(6) Bioenergetics and Metabolism (Theory and Lab)
(7) Introduction to Quantum Chemistry and Group Theory (Theory)
(8) Fundamentals of Spectroscopy (Theory)
(9) Special Topics in Biochemistry (Theory)
(10) Research Methodology for Chemistry (Theory)
(11) Biophysical Chemistry (Theory)

The BSc Chemistry Honours courses I have taught so far are:
(1) Thermodynamics and its Applications (theory and lab)
(2) Phase Equilibria and Electrochemistry (Theory)
(3) Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy

Area of Interest :
Biophysical Chemistry of Proteins (Molecular docking simulations of proteins and protein-small molecule interactions)
Research : 15 Years
