Avneet Kaur, Ph.D., is presently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, University Institute of Sciences, Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, India. Her research during her Ph.D. focused primarily on two distinct areas. Firstly, she explored thermo-physical and theoretical examination of binary mixtures comprising Choline-based Ionic Liquids and Hydrogen Bond Donor solvents such as water, straight-chain alcohols, and alkanediols, with potential industrial applications. Secondly, she explored the development of choline-based ionic liquid-assisted nanostructures for electrochemical sensing of pollutants, showcasing their potential as intelligent designs for various engineering and industrial applications. Since last 2 years she is actively working on biochemistry of food products. In 2023, she was honored with the Best Poster Award at a national conference. Dr. Kaur is an active life member of Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA).
