Research Interest:
 

We work on the synthesis of molecules, study the kinetics. photochemical, and photophysical properties of the synthesized molecules to understand their behavior. Our molecules toggle between two structures using light and we utilize the structural changes to control several properties such as aggregation-disaggregation, supramolecular assembly-disassembly, differential binding properties, and so on.
