MEMORIES
I was Postdoc at Hope college during June 2012-Dec 2013. Chemistry department of Hope college has tradition to take annual photo of faculty / staff to upload on department website. This one was from year 2012 and the another one from year 2013. I am grateful to all those eminent faculties for considering me as a part of Hope family almost everyday.



Dream come true !!
