About me

Tuhin Khan

Welcome to my personal website

I am Tuhin, an experimental physical chemist working on the photophysics of molecular systems. Currently, I am a research fellow at Prague's Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry. Here we are exploring the photophysics of macromolecular systems using a femtosecond laser. We are trying to understand the dynamics of chromophoric systems which have relevance in opto-electronic applications.
