Supramolecular & Materials Chemistry
I study crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry, focusing on cooperative self-assembly involving selforganisation of macromolecules that form specific arrays such as tubules, bilayers, spheroidal structures and metal-organic scaffold for gas and small molecule entrapment or storage.

My research also involves the design of green and eco-friendly synthetic strategies for the formulation of nanomaterials, nanodevices and nanoscale systems for drug delivery and sensors.
Additionally, I adopt computational approaches to predict and understand the physicochemical behaviour of molecules and compounds, complementing experimental results.
My research focuses on macromolecular self-assembly into structured arrays, eco-friendly synthesis of nanoscale systems for drug delivery and sensors and computational predictions to complement experimental findings
