Dr. Ravi Raghav Sonani has completed his bachelor (in 2009) and master (in 2011) in biotechnology from Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar. Since 2012, he has joined the Post-Graduate of Biosciences, Sardar Patel University as a PhD student. He has been the recipient of very prestigious national and international awards namely INSPIRE by DST-New Delhi, Raman-Charpak by Indo-French centre for promotion of advance research (IFCPAR) and Newton-Bhabha fellowship by British Council, UK. Besides these, he has significantly contributed in the field of biotechnology, photobiology, photochemistry and structural biology. He has published several research and review article in the journal of international repute.

Ravi Raghav Sonani Research Interests are In last five years, Dr. Sonani has been working in the field of ‘The structure and function of cyanobacterial light harvesting proteins’. His work has increasingly concentrated on the phenomenon of light harvesting, energy transfer and the structure-function relationship of the pigment-protein complexes involved in these processes. A wide variety of experimental approaches have been used, including protein crystallography, time resolved spectroscopy, and in-silico protein structure analysis. His work involved a wide range of national and international collaborations.
