// the story

Hi, I’m Divya.

I’m a results-driven data analyst with a Ph.D. in Chemistry, and I’ve spent the last nine years moving between the lab, the classroom and the dashboard. That mix is the whole point of this site: rigorous science, explained plainly, presented visually.

Today I work as a Senior Science Content & Data Specialist, where I analyse large datasets, build training data for classifiers, optimise content for search, and translate raw numbers into decisions. Before that I taught chemistry as an assistant professor and worked as a subject-matter expert.

Ease My Chemistry is where those worlds meet — simplified concepts, an interactive periodic table, and short stories about the chemistry of everyday life. All free, because knowledge shouldn’t be bound by cost.
