Current Group Members
The group is primarily graduate students aspiring to receive their doctoral degrees. Members have studies in chemistry as the major subject, in their early studies before beginning their doctoral programme. In addition to undergoing a highly involved organic synthesis, comprising organometallic chemistry, multi-step synthesis, methodology and reagent development, the members go through a foray of biochemical, biophysical and materials chemistry techniques, namely, various spectroscopies, microscopies, calorimetry, diffraction techniques, surface-driven techniques. Chemical synthesis and mechanism-driven studies provide a direct opportunity to receive a knowledge and expertise cutting across synthesis, mechanistic studies, biochemical, biophysical and materials studies.
