Six focus areas across matter, molecules & meaning.
From sol–gel derived hybrid nanomaterials to bio-based polymers, from adsorbents for wastewater remediation to the historical scholarship of Indian science — the work spans the fundamental and the applied.
Material Chemistry & Hybrids
Sol–gel synthesis of ceramic and hybrid nanocomposite materials, including trimetallic Ti–V–M oxide nanocomposites and SnO₂–Al₂O₃ systems.
Organometallic Chemistry
Synthesis and characterization of main-group organometallic complexes with N-, S-, O-donor ligands (Schiff bases, thiohydrazides, thiohydrazones).
Wastewater Remediation
Clay-based (pillared bentonite, kaolinite) and biopolymer–clay composite adsorbents for the removal of cationic dyes and heavy metals from wastewater.
Bioinorganic & Anticancer Agents
Platinum(IV), gold(III) and N-heterocyclic carbene–silver(I) complexes as platforms for anticancer and antimicrobial agents.
Green Nanotechnology
Green synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles using plant extracts (Combretum indicum) and their characterization.
Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS)
Revival, communication and awareness of ancient Indian sciences and the contributions of Indian scientists to modern chemistry.
