New synthetic methods, Functional organic materials, Supramolecular chemistry, Polymer chemistry. The research in my group is centred on synthetic organic chemistry with a view to exploring nanoporous and nanomaterials for various types of applications ranging from energy, catalysis, sensing, and Nanotherapeutics. Thus, it is highly interdisciplinary in nature. The general strategy of our research is designing and synthesizing the functional nanomaterials with targeted applications and understanding the properties by applying state-of-the-art characterization techniques.
