Our research interests are multidisciplinary in nature, and hence it involves skills ranging from organic/inorganic synthesis to nanomaterial fabrication to photophysicial studies to cell culture to biophysical studies. Various types of analytical and characterization tools are used in our research programs, which gives students and researchers ample opportunity to master themselves in modern instrumentation techniques. We use various spectroscopic (both steady state and time resolved absorption and emission spectrophotometers), microscopic (optical and electron) and fabrication (metal evaporators, photolithography) techniques in our research programs.
