Short Description
I am a science researcher and a teacher. I am an avid reader. I am presently working in the are of Forensic chemistry. Apart from Chemistry, I am also working in terrorism studies. My focus is to understand how terror organizations work and thrive throughout the world. In addition, I am also working on Cyber security and communication methods.
