Research Interests

​The central theme of my research interest over the last six years has been in the area of supramolecular chemistry, arguably one of the hottest areas of chemical sciences. My research expertise is highly interdisciplinary and encompasses organic and inorganic synthesis of macromolecules and finite structures for applications in supramolecular materials and medicinal chemistry. In my current research work, I am specifically engaged in developing novel coordination cages and capsules possessing confined cavity and demonstrate their applications in cavity directed catalysis and stimuli-responsive targeted drug delivery.
