Welcome to the SKS group

Our group’s research ranges from the very fundamental chemistry to applications. There is an ongoing synthetic route underlying to address the challenges of making new materials and morphologies of nanoparticles, and so that the nanomaterials can be incorporated into different biological applications as well as other specific applications.

The physical chemistry is applied to understanding the properties of nanomaterials as well as using inorganic chemistry, we are concentrating to develop nanoscale MOFs and COFs. The develop nanomaterials are investigating in the research area of sensor, drug delivery systems, photodynamic therapy, LED and anti-counterfeiting agent within our group and with collaborators.
