Ajmal was born in Calicut (India) in 1999. He recently completed his Integrated BS-MS dual degree with a major in chemistry from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal. He worked on the “Design and synthesis of rhodamine-based trivalent metal ion sensors and their potential application in studying Al(III) toxicity” for his master’s thesis under the supervision of Dr. Apurba Lal Koner. He is currently pursuing a Ph. D. under the framework of the Swiss Nanoscience Institute on developing designer nanocrystals for the fabrication of molecularly precise 2D and 3D metal-organic frameworks. The work is jointly supervised by Prof. Jonathan De Roo (University of Basel) and Prof. Patrick Shahgaldian (FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland).
