Background

About Rohini Kanwar

Actively seeking a formulation/research scientist position. Self-motivated, creative, enthusiastic researcher with extensive research experience spread over 10+ yrs. in multidisciplinary fields like Nanoscience, Colloidal and surface science, Self-assembly, Catalysis with strong knowledge of analytical techniques. During my PhD and postdoc research, I have developed excellent problem-solving abilities, with outstanding project and time management skills as demonstrated by completion of multiple projects on time resulting in 21 peer reviewed publications, 1 Indian patent, 5 book chapters, and 1 book. Expert in the synthesis of novel lipid nanoparticles and their analysis such as physicochemical, microscopic, and spectroscopic. Skilled in site-specific delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Immense experience in scattering analysis, and kinetic calculations using various models. Efficient in the fabrication of functional hybrid of organic-inorganic materials viz. meso-macroporous silica framework impregnated with metal oxide nanoparticles for catalysis and adsorption of genomic DNA. Ample experience in developing surfactant-assisted nano assemblies such as niosomes, nanoemulsions, nanostructured lipid carriers, polymeric nanoparticles, and cubosomes specifically meant for encapsulation of immunomodulating drugs, and controlled delivery of pesticides. Skilled in the use of scattering (DLS, SLS, SANS, SAXS, XRD), spectroscopic (UV-vis, FTIR, NMR, fluorescence, XPS), microscopic (TEM, SEM, AFM, optical microscopy), thermal (DSC, TGA, BET) and chromatographic techniques for characterization and structural analysis. Proficient in using computer programs and various software for both analysis and documentation (Origin Pro, ChemDraw, SASFIT, Image J, Gwyddion) Exceptional interpersonal, written and oral communication skills with strong leadership as evident by 3+ years of teaching analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, mentoring masters, undergraduate and graduate students and experienced in working with cross functional collaborative teams as effective team player.
