Yes… I know that my colleagues in astronomy use our results to help them understand how stars and planets form. But I also know that those research students and research assistants that have gone on to careers in industry and academia are making a positive contribution to society.
I am trying to disciver new antibiotics from marine sources. Even though the process from discovery to the market can take up to 20 years, I hope to find new molecules that can kill pathogenic bacteria
I have been working in two projects that will be helpful for rural areas in India and other similar places where you have plenty of sunlights; 1st project is to clean water using very small amount of catalyst and Sunlight. The photo-catalysis will help to kill the bacteria and other pollutants in water. My 2nd project will store sunlight in a phase change material and can be used as cooking food at night. Solar-cooking will reduce the fuel consumption and pollution related to smoke.
I also study pharmaceutical drugs, and try to make them more compact (that is more dense). I am currently working on Galunisertib and I am able to make a new form of that drug.
I also test explosives (TNT) under pressure to check their safety. This is extremely important for better understanding of explosives.
Helloooo, I’m working to find new medicines for neglected and tropical diseases so if the project is successful it could have a huge impact on a lot of people who are currently suffering horrible illness. That’s why I’m so motivated to do what I do!
