Our research is focused on design, synthesis and characterization of non-covalent systems with potential applications in material science. We use organic synthesis as a powerful tool to make small molecules or
polymers of interest and further probe their self-assembly and self-organization through various spectroscopic techniques. We are primarily interested in understanding the subtle structure-property relationship of non-covalent systems, and creating systems with emergent properties.
