About
Research Area
Joined the Department of Bioinformatics, Pondicherry University in 2009.
Received Ph.D degree in Physics/Biophysics from University of Madras, in 2002. Spent several years as Postdoctoral Fellow at Internationally reputed institutions including University of Pittsburgh (USA), Ohio State University (USA), University of Tokyo (Japan) and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) till the mid of 2009. Have more than 23 years of research experience. Here at BICPU, I am leading a research group in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology & Chemistry and handing courses like Molecular Dynamics Simulation, Bioinformatics-Sequence analyses, Algorithms in Computational Biology, etc. for the last 15 yrs. I am a Personnel striving hard to succeed the challenging current scenario.
