The group activity is focused mainly on developing materials for either sensing or catalysis.  We work on varieties of material including nanomaterials, functionalized organic molecules, liquid crystals, graphene quantum dots etc.  In order to do preliminary characterization of these materials we have following equipment in our lab. UV-Vis spectrophotometer Multiplate reader (Absorbance, fluorescence Autolab Parstat EG&G instruments Particle size analyzer Lyophhilizer Electrospinning Unit Contact Angle Measuring system Elipsometer
