Our research primarily focuses on investigating structural and photophysical properties of various organic molecules through state-of-the-art electronic structure calculation methods and molecular dynamics simulation approaches to elucidate their application as efficient photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy.
In addition, we are also interested in exploring through computational methods, a diverse range of domains, including optoelectronics (Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells), global optimization techniques (Genetic Algorithm) and material science (Radiation Effects).
