Hello & Welcome to (Organic) Material Science and Engineering Lab !
Organic chemistry offers a powerful platform for the design and synthesis of functional molecules with tailored properties. Our (Organic)Material Science and Engineering research group uses organic chemistry for developing smart materials for aqueous (organo)catalysis, controlled release of desired species for biomedical applications and environmental remediation. Taking the cue from Nature, we focus on creating (artificial)systems that mimic natural processes and structures in "Nature-like" environment. By synthesizing functional organic compounds, followed by allowing to form self‑assembled architectures, we employ state-of-the-art spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to unravel their structure–function relationships, paving the way for sustainable and responsive (bio)chemical systems.
