As a member of the Standing Committee on Women in Science and National Task Force on Women in Science she has made recommendations on how government should change its policies to promote female participation in sciences. Some of these recommendations include having at least one woman member in every hiring, promotion and award committee, ensuring flexi-time for women and increasing days of maternity leave. She has also organized several Career Development Workshops since 2013 for Women in Physics at the

While the nature of research of highly fundamental, the results have been applied to developing nanocatalysts for clean energy and designing magnetic materials for data storage . The research falls under the category of computational nanotechnology in the field of
