My research focus is to design small molecule chromophores for two-dimensional self-assemblies. The approach requires a balanced propagation of non-covalent interactions along two orthogonal directions. Through a careful alteration of such interactions, it may even be possible to achieve 2D-polymorphism.
​
Additionally, I am also investigating photoinduced aggregation dynamics of a photoresponsive hydrazone based chromophore.

Halogen(X) bonding has attracted much attention recently as it has certain advantages over hydrogen bonding in controlling the molecular packing owing to its excellent directionality. My research focus is to explore the construction of helical chromophoric assemblies via X-bonding. My wishlist includes length tunability and modulation of supramolecular chirality using an external stimuli.

Considering the role of solvent-solute interactions in governing supramolecular chirality in assemblies of molecular chromophores, I intend to investigate the contribution from trace volumes of achiral good solvents in controlling the outcome of supramolecular anisotropy. Additionally, I also focus on exploring stimuli-responsive tuning of supramolecular chirality which may pave an way for achieving Supramolecular Chiral Inversion.

​My research interests lie in comprehending the physical characteristics of supramolecular assemblies generated from small organic molecules, in presence of several inorganic external agents. Such assemblies can integrate with those inorganic materials to create a hybrid structure that combines interesting characteristics of inorganic materials with the versatile dynamic properties of supramolecular systems that can have practical applications in many fields like optoelectronics and advanced chiral materials.​​​

​My research focuses on developing perylene diimide-based self-assembled structures for photoelectrochemical water splitting. By leveraging the strong electronic properties and tunable self-assembly behavior of perylene diimides, I aim to enhance light absorption, charge separation, and catalytic efficiency, contributing to more efficient solar-driven water-splitting systems for sustainable energy applications.​​​
