Research

I am an experimental physicist with research interests spanning both condensed matter physics and materials science. I try to integrate the tools of physics and chemistry with engineering principles to study and optimize materials of technological significance. The key focus area is to realize the Role of structural correlations with lattice dynamics in multiferroic materials using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption, magneto-dielectric, Raman and optical absorption spectroscopy.

Chirality, the property of molecules exhibiting handedness, plays a significant role in both chemistry and biology. Its impact extends across diverse areas such as asymmetric catalysis and drug design. In the realm of materials chemistry, current research focuses on harnessing chiral nanomaterials and chiral plasmonics for effective solar light absorption, enantioselective photocatalysis, and the development of spin-based devices. Presently I am working on very intriguing phenomena chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) and its implications for spintronics and biological functions. The chiral-induced spin selectivity effect was recently established experimentally and theoretically. The CISS effect opens the possibility of using chiral molecules in spintronics applications and also it can empower the future of drugs, pesticides and fertilizers.
