Research in our lab is focused in the areas of molecular materials synthesis and supramolecular chemistry covering the traditional fields of organic and physical chemistry. We believe that gaining insights into the correlation between molecular structure and its macroscopic properties will provide us with a roadmap for designing materials at the molecular level. We aim to synthesize a variety of photoresponsive and self-assembled materials including liquid crystalline materials and chiral organic materials (but not limited to these) and study their self-assembly and material properties. This implies a viable route towards incorporating these materials into upcoming sustainable energy technologies, such as solar energy storage and high-efficiency lighting systems.
