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.
