Research Area

• Basic photophysics of organic molecules in solution phase, with particular emphasis on photophysics of extended aromatic systems as well as excited state phototropism.
• Extending the frontiers of analytical fluorimetry involving integration of novel instrument designs, fluorescence data collection strategies and analytical methodologies.

Use of novel fluorescent molecular probes as well as novel probe applications of known fluorescent molecules in understanding soft matter systems like lipid bilayer membranes, niosomal membranes, hydrogels etc.
