Organic and Inorganic Functional Material Design
Molecular Separation- Photocatalysis - Photophysics - Supramolecular Chemistry

Research Theme
Sustainability of synthetic materials is the primary challenge towards realizing practical applications. While designing a functional material, molecular structures and mesoscopic assembly process, both play imperative roles to make it sustainable. We aim to programme the molecular assembly in mesoscale to realize sustainability for targeted applications, including gas separation, selective ion diffusion, photocatalysis and smart optoelectronic materials.
