Research Interest

We are interested in synthesis of natural and non-natural synthetic targets that can find wide ranging application spanning from chemical biology to material science. We aim to develop new methodology and validate it in a real application. Our ongoing research projects focus on (i) natural product synthesis, (ii) diversity oriented synthesis, (iii) heteroatom based smart materials and (iv) bio-inspired molecular and supramolecular assemblies.
