Field of research interest: 

Working in the field of fluorescence Spectroscopy of Organic Molecules, Organic polymers, Organometallic and Nanomaterials (Nanoparticles and Quantum Dots and 2D Materials), Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) and SHG materials, Thin solid film measurement. Development of optical probes/sensors to monitor/detect hazardous/explosive entities in the environment.

We are using four important and most sensitive techniques. Namely Steady State and Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopic techniques, and Electric Field Modulation technique along with several other systems, and Transient absorption spectroscopy.
