Dr. Pinjari’s research expertise lies in computational chemistry, with a strong emphasis on electrochemistry, spectroscopy, CO₂ utilization, separation and catalysis. His doctoral work focused on density functional investigations of supramolecular host–guest complexes, hydrogen bonding networks, and their effect on NMR spectral variations. During his postdoctoral tenure in Sweden, he contributed to the development of advanced multiconfigurational quantum chemical methodology (CASSCF/CASPT2 and core-RAS approaches) for simulating L-edge X-ray absorption spectra of transition metal complexes, with applications to heme systems.
