Arun K. Pal

I am a computational chemist specializing in photochemistry, molecular magnetism, and excited-state dynamics. My research focuses on understanding and designing optoelectronic materials, including singlet exciton fission, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), symmetry-breaking charge separation (SBCS), and singlet oxygen photosensitizers. I employ advanced density functional theory (DFT) and multireference electronic structure methods to explore these phenomena at a fundamental level.

Currently, I am expanding my research into ferroelectric materials, correlated material design, and light-matter interactions. My long-term goal is to bridge quantum chemistry, molecular magnetism, and computational spectroscopy to develop next-generation materials for energy and sustainability applications.

This makes courses like General Chemistry, Molecular Spectroscopy, Group Theory, Quantum Chemistry, Statistical Mechanics, and Electrochemistry motivating to me.
