I'm currently working as a Ph.D. student under the guidance of Prof. K. George Thomas, School of Chemistry, IISER Thiruvananthapuram (IISER TVM). Our group focuses on understanding the photochemistry and photo-physics of molecular assemblies, plasmonic systems and semiconductor nanocrystals, and chiral nanostructures. I'm pursuing research in the interdisciplinary areas of physics and chemistry. My research is focused on the investigation of single- and two-photon emission dynamics in semiconductor nanocrystals for optoelectronic applications. These studies are conducted using time-resolved single-particle spectroscopy.
Research Interests
Understanding the photo-physics of semiconductor nanocrystals using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques (Single-particle spectroscopy, Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy).

Synthesis of binary and ternary semiconductor quantum dots and nanoplatelets
Characterization using various techniques like transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy
Basic spectroscopic/analytical techniques: Steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy, time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC)
Advanced spectroscopic techniques: Single-particle confocal fluorescence microscopy
Softwares: SymPhoTime 64, Origin, EndNote, ImageJ
