Project done in the topic ,” “Green Synthesis of Silver Nano-
Particles their Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity”, in
BioLab , Bhubaneswar ( August 2009-January 2010 )
Worked as a Research Scholar in P.L Nayak Research Foundation
(PLNRF), Center of Excellence in Nano Science and Technology,
Synergy Institute of Technology(SIT),Bhubaneswar tillSeptember
2012. I have worked on “Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles and
studying their Antimicrobial properties”. Nanoparticles can be
synthesized from various plants and microorganisms extracts. The
basis of formation of nanoparticles is the reduction mechanism. I
have worked on more than 50 plant extracts and studying the
formation of nanoparticles with the help of pH change, UV-Vis
Spectrophotometer, analysis, SEM, etc.
