Core Research Areas
Ultrafast Reaction Dynamics & PEPICO Spectroscopy
Investigating ultrafast molecular processes using Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser systems with time-resolved photoelectron-photoion coincidence (PEPICO) spectroscopy and velocity map imaging (VMI). Current focus : probing the degree of microsolvation via photoelectron spectra (PES) and exploring its effects on chirality-sensitive observables, including CDEKE (circular dichroism in electron kinetic energy) yields and photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) in chiral molecules and microsolvated clusters.
Key Capabilities:
- PEPICO (photoelectron-photoion coincidence) with sub-50 femtosecond temporal resolution
- Time-resolved PEPICO PES,VMI
- Molecular beam techniques and micro-solvated cluster formation
Impact: Built automated data acquisition and analysis pipelines for the PEPICO experiment, covering time-of-flight calibration and coincidence analysis.
Ionic Liquids & Nanoparticle Interfaces
Systematic investigation of structure-property relationships in ionic liquid-nanoparticle hybrid systems using combined experimental and computational approaches. Research focused on fundamental interfacial phenomena with applications in catalysis, gas separation, and energy storage. PhD thesis: "Structure and Properties of Ionic Liquids on Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Spectroscopic and Computational Approach".
Experimental Techniques:
- FTIR, Raman, UV-Vis spectroscopy
- Rheological characterization & thermal analysis
- Nanoparticle synthesis and functionalization
Computational Methods:
- Density functional theory (Gaussian 16, ORCA)
Impact: Insights into the structure and interactions of ionic liquids for clean-energy and gas-separation uses; a gas-separation membrane from this work became a granted patent.
