WELCOME TO DR. SHEKARAIAH DEVARI
My research aims to identify challenging problem in modern chemistry then understand the concepts and mechanisms leads to find better solution.
BIO
Who I Am
I am Shekaraiah Devari received Ph.D. in chemistry from the Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, Jammu, India, with Dr. Bhahwal Ali Shah. During my doctoral studies, I have a great interest in organic chemistry and have plenty of experience in the development of novel synthetic methodologies that resulted in published 14 international publications. I am currently working as Postdoctoral Researcher at The Ohio State University since June 2018. Before here I have worked as a Senior Research Associate at AMRI (Albany Molecular Research Inc.) Hyderabad, India, for 1 Yr 10 months. My current work is focused on the synthesis of small molecules and peptides for DNA and RNA binding. Outside the professional work, I love playing and watching cricket, chitchat with friends and listening to music.

Building upon work done by a former lab colleague, I have developed a powerful tool for use in the identification and characterization of the processes in my model system. A major advantage of this development is its improved sensitivity, which allows it to detect subtle dynamic property changes in response to my experimental setup.
