She received her Ph.D. in 2011 from Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), Kerala, in the field of electrochemical sensors for the determination of metal ions. As part of the DST INDO-POLISH project, she also worked at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Poland. Her current projects include producing disposable electrochemical sensors for biomolecules including cardiovascular biomarkers, food analysis, point-of-care diagnosis and electrode materials for energy devices. She joined the Amritapuri Campus in 2008 and has since been pursuing her love of research and teaching for the past 15 years. She successfully oversaw the completion of 4 Ph.Ds. during this time period. She has 4 Ph.D. scholars under her supervision at present. She has also contributed to numerous journal publications, conference proceedings, book chapters, and oversaw roughly 11 M.Sc. projects in the recent years.
