Here, I hope to highlight the emerging scientific developments in the field of Chemistry and also my journey as a researcher.
I obtained my PhD at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India. My doctoral work revolved around understanding solute dynamics in complex fluids like ionic liquids by employing time resolved fluorescence techniques. Currently, I am a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at KU Leuven and my research is focussed towards investigating pi-conjugated systems using a range of scanning probe techniques like Atomic Force Microscopy, Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy and also Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. A major part of my Marie Curie funded research pertains to the investigation of the self assembly behavior of DNA molecules in the presence of ionic liquids and ionic liquid solutions.
