• In the area of nonlinear optics, organic multi-chromophore systems such as carbon networks composed of repeat building block molecules  have been utilized for two-photon absorption (TPA) effects ,which may have applications in optical limiting, imaging, and photodynamic therapy.
• We analyze the determining factor which governs the magnitude of the cross section of these systems.
• I’m investigating two samples with a wide range of molecular symmetries so as to figure out a new avenue toward increasing the two-photon cross section with identical building block chromophores.

• Two photon excited fluorescence measurements of organic conjugated branched molecules and dendrimers. I am setting up the experiment and will be studying the relationship between structure and properties of these molecules. We have one of the world’s fastest lasers (20 fs pulses) in the form of an OPA that is powered by a regenerative amplifier (Spitfire-Pro). TPA has several interesting applications such as optical power limiting, 3-D optical data storage, imaging, photodynamic therapy and optical power limiting.
• Synthesis and characterization of a water soluble poly(phenylene ethynylene). This involves a sequence of organic reactions (such as SN2 substitution) to synthesize two monomers and then couple them using Sonogashira-Hagihara chemistry to synthesize the polymer. Characterization will be done using NMR and GPC.
• Processing and characterization of Polypropylene/Montmorillonite nanocomposites using a reactive twin-screw extruder.
• Impact modification of Polypropylene/Montmorillonite nanocomposites; comparison between a polymeric elastomer and an oligomeric, functionalized elastomer.
•  Processing PMMA/Laponite nanocomposites for enhanced hardness, scratch resistance and superior barrier properties. A key feature of this work was that the transparency of PMMA was not sacrificed. Effect of clay loading on PMMA was also studied.
•  Nanocomposites from Polycarbonate and nano-sized ferrite particles based on Ni, Fe and Zn were synthesized for imparting magnetic properties to PC. All processing was done using a reactive twin-screw extruder.
•  Have also helped with reactive processing for recycling cell phones. In this project, funded by Motorola, the housings were separated from metallic components and then the plastics were attempted to recycle using reactive processing.

• My main research interest is to develop new high dielectric organic materials for a variety of optical and electronic applications, especially at high frequencies (>1KHz). The techniques involved in the characterization of the high dielectric materials are capacitance, steady state adsorption and emission, time-of-flight, ultra-fast time-resolved fluorescence and EPR et al.
• I am also interested in the study of energy transfer in the macromolecules using ultra-fast time-resolved fluorescence.

• Synthesis of new materials involving Silsesquioxane containing polymers and dendrimers, toward photovoltaic applications. The interaction of different chromophores toward tuning the band gap of materials is of great interest for making cheap solar cells. This is a strong motivation for this project. There is also an enhanced interest in light emitting and absorbing properties which, includes time resolved spectroscopy and two-photon absorption spectroscopy.
