Research

Areas of Specialization:

• Vibrational infrared and Raman Spectroscopy.
• Computational Chemistry.

Areas of Interest:

• Ab initio quantum chemical and DFT studies of  molecular structures, vibrational spectra, energetics, and theoretical potential energy functions for cyclic and bicyclic molecules.
• Normal coordinate analyses of the vibrational modes on the basis of experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra.
• Characterization of the structural properties of the molecules in various condensed and non-condensed phases by studying their infrared and Raman spectra with the help of ab initio and DFT computations.

• Research Experience:

  • Operating vibrational spectrometers including FT-IR, FT-Raman and dispersive Raman spectrometers.
  • Running quantum chemical calculations, specially Gaussian software.
