Dissertation: Polyelectrolyte- Surfactant Interactions in Mixed Solvent Media. Dissertation chair: Professor Bijan Das 1999 Master in Chemistry (Physical Chemistry), Central Department of Chemistry, Tribhuvan University (NEPAL) 1996 B.Sc. (Physcis, Chemistry, Mathematics and English), M. M. A. M. Campus, Tribhuvan University (NEPAL) RESEARCH INTERESTS Theoretical Studies on Glass-Forming Liquids: Study of a generalization of Adam-Gibbs model of relaxation in glass-forming liquids with fluctuation in the number of molecules inside the cooperative region; Systematic and comprehensive study of the configuration fraction links the excess entropy with kinetic properties described in the Adam-Gibbs model; study of the configuration fraction at the glass transition temperature in terms of the width of the distribution of relaxation times, the non-linearity parameter, the steepness index, the excess heat capacity under constant pressure, and the number of correlated molecules or structural units. The configuration fraction in the absence of fluctuation effects is also determined for several glass-forming liquids at the glass transition temperature. Nanomaterials and Surface Chemistry: Problems of transport and interactions of small molecules in microemulsions; Novel techniques to produce one-dimensional and two-dimensional nanomaterials; Isolation and full-in-depth characterization of humic acids from different sources of natural origin Polymer Chemistry: Systematic and comprehensive study of the solution behaviour of a polyelectrolyte in mixed solvent media using conductometry, densitometry, and viscometry, the influence of the polyelectrolyte on the aggregation behaviour of an oppositely charged surfactant in mixed solvents using conductometry, tensiometry and viscometry 1 WORK EXPERIENCE March 2017 - present Assistant Professor, Mahendra Morang Adarsh Multiple Campus, Biratnagar, Tribhuvan University, NEPAL April 2008 – March 2017 Teaching Assistant, Mahendra Morang Adarsh Multiple Campus, Biratnagar, Tribhuvan University, NEPAL June 2003 - April 2008 Part-time Teaching Assistant, Mahendra Morang Adarsh Multiple Campus, Biratnagar, Tribhuvan University, NEPAL August 2002 - June 2003 Part-time Teaching Assistant, Tribhuvan Multiple Campus, Tansen, Palpa Tribhuvan University, NEPAL COURSES TAUGHT AND OTHER SERVICES Teaching Physical Chemistry especially Surface Chemistry and Electrochemistry for undergraduate levels, Solid State Chemistry and Corrosion Chemistry for graduate and post graduate levels, guiding B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. Dissertation students in the fields of Surface Chemistry RELEVANT INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATIONS (Via SCOPUS PREVIEW) 1.
