I worked as a post-doctoral fellow in the group of Prof. Christian
Griesinger in Frankfurt, Germany.
My research was focused on the
development of new methods for resonance assignment and coupling constant
determination in uniformly13C, 15N Labeled RNA and
DNA oligonucleotides.

I obtained my Ph.D. as a joint student of Profs. Donald M. Crothers
and James H. Prestegard at Yale University. The title of my Ph.D.
dissertation was "Multi-Dimensional Heteronuclear NMR Structural
Studies of RNA Oligonucleotides in Solution: (i) New Methods for
Through-Bond Assignment and Characterization of Backbone Resonances (ii)
Structural Characterization of Complexes formed between RNA Hairpins with
Complementary Loops"
