I am interested in understanding if and how quantum resources are relevant in physical and chemical changes. Using numerically exact quantum dynamics simulations with tensor-network methods, I investigate ultrafast chemical and biochemical processes to understand how electronic, vibrational, and vibronic degrees of freedom cooperate to drive useful chemical transformations. Additionally, I connect these quantum-mechanical descriptions, rooted in multidimensional system-origin degrees of freedom, to experimentally observable signatures in ultrafast spectroscopy.

Research Interests
Various exciting excited state phenomena such as singlet fission, aggregate induced shifts, thermally activated delayed fluorescense, are few among the vast topic.
Excited State Dynamics
Understanding the non-covalent interactions is important in crystallography and catalytic chemistry for acquiring the maximum out of the molecules.
Non-Covalent Interactions
The emerging field of charge transport in organic molecules probed with hopping theory, transient localization theory and band theory.
Charge Transport
Reaction mechanism is the soul of organic chemistry. Understanding the way of synthesis can help in tuning and emerging new synthetic possibilities.
