Cancelled “Tuning the Excitonic Properties of 2-Dimensional Molecular Aggregates across the Visible and Shortwave Infrared” Molecular aggregates are non-covalent self-assemblies of chromophores wherein transition dipole moments of individual molecules couple coherently over long distances, forming delocalized excitons. This imparts exciting photophysical properties such as extreme blue or red shifts (seen in H- or J-aggregates respectively), […]

Predicting and Controlling Correlated Light-Matter Interactions Quantum systems host spectacular excited-state effects, but many of these phenomena remain challenging to control and, consequently, technologically under-explored. My research, therefore, focuses on how quantum systems behave, particularly away from equilibrium, and how we can harness these effects1. By creating predictive approaches to study dynamics, decoherence and photo-induced […]

“Strategies for Modulating Stabilities of Soft and Hard Hybrid Materials with Boron Clusters” Carbon chemistry is ubiquitous across the development of modern materials. In comparison, use of boron building blocks is underdeveloped, owing to the historic instability of simple boranes. Polyhedral boranes, however, fundamentally differ from their borane precursors and exhibit exceptional chemical stability as […]
