Dr. Gaurav Pandey
About me
I am a theoretical chemist working in the area of theoretical modeling of the dynamics of molecular systems subject to external perturbation. I develop and apply theoretical models to understand ultrafast electronic and nuclear dynamics in molecules which is a primary aim of a new field of chemistry termed as Attochemistry or Attosecond Chemistry.
Apart from the research, I am equally enthusiastic about sharing knowledge and nurturing the next generation of scholars. Alongside my research pursuits, I am deeply interested in teaching, leadership, and mentoring students. I firmly believe that by imparting my expertise and guiding aspiring minds, I can contribute to their academic and personal growth. It is my sincere aspiration to inspire and empower students to reach their full potential, fostering a community of inquisitive learners and future leaders.
