Research Areas

We are a small research group located in 301 and 302 in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. We work at the interface of chemistry, biology, materials science and chemical engineering taking advantage of the concepts from the different disciplines for handling interesting scientific problems. The group is interested in developing molecular level insights into chemical and biological phenomena using first-principles quantum mechanical calculations. We will be happy to hear from you should you have any query regarding the methodologies.
