Nice to See Auroville Matri Mandir on the cover page of Chemical Science!

We will be happy to host interested candidates for SERB-NPDF. Our group works on light-matter interactions with surface engineered nanomaterials. Specific areas of interest include photocatalysis, photophysics, self-assembly and plasmonics. Please contact me directly.

We will have postdoc vacancy in the field of optoelectronic devices. Interested candidates (Indians only), who have done PhD in device (solar cell, LED, photodetector) fabrication, can drop an email to me. This time, only the device experts. Others, please do not write.

Three generations in a single frame... Meeting Pramod's research group along with Dr. Jino George. Pramod Pillai Jino George (IISER Mohali) IISER Thiruvananthapuram IISER Pune

Day 1, we had an outstanding program, with exciting talks and scientific discussion #Emergingmaterials2023 IISER Pune with Subi George Partha Mukherjee's Lab Maksym Kovalenko Maryna Bodnarchuk Angshuman Nag Partha Hazra, IISER Pune Pramod Pillai Pankaj Mandal Arnab Mukherjee

Excellent talk by Maryna Bodnarchuk on the unusual self-assembly of perovskites in #EmergingMaterials2023 IISER Pune Maksym Kovalenko Maryna Bodnarchuk.

Excellent talk by #ProfGeorgeThomas George Thomas' Group on trap states and single particle spectroscopy of quantum dots in #EmergingMaterials2023 IISER Pune

The colloidal quantum dot community is well represented in the #Oppenheimer movie with background actors from the Klimov group, the Hollingsworth group, and from UbiQD. Sadly we were not allowed to bring samples on set 😔 #FluorescenceFriday

Are you interested in working on light-matter interactions at nanoscale? We have one PhD position. Details of our work can be found at pramodpillai.com. Apply through iiserpune.ac.in/announcements/…

The feeling of seeing this video is just beyond words!! #Chandrayaan_3 #PragyanRover #IndiaOnTheMoon

Our latest Perspective highlights the prospects & challenges associated with different triggers, with the aim of achieving desired functions from a dynamic self-assembly process.Congrats Sumit Roy.Thank you Ozge Heinz& Langmuir for the invitation! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

It feels very personal! Especially when I am about to submit my PhD thesis on this very topic (QDs as photocatalysts)! Although long awaited, but still the recognition came as a pleasant surprise. Super happy and excited!! Long live QDs!

Our work in Chemical Communications projects plasmon-heating as a 'greener alternative' to conventional-heating for high-temp organic synthesis.This time we did Claisen rearrangement 'solely' with plasmon-heat, under sunlight.Congrats Radha Krishna Kashyap Shreya Tyagi pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Ever wondered if popular synthesis conditions are necessarily better? 🤔 Our latest study explores just that! Using #BayesianOptimization and #MachineLearning, we revisited a popular protocol for growing gold nanorods and uncovered a mix of expected and unexpected findings.

Our work on developing an InP QD based artificial photosynthetic system is now out in ACS Catalysis!! Have a read.

Now, it's official! Got the MS and PhD degree awarded in the 11th Convocation ceremony at IISER Pune. Immensely grateful! 🙏👨‍🎓

The two catches that gave us two T20 World Cups!! Fortunate to have witnessed both! This is an overwhelming moment! ♥️🇮🇳 after 13 years! #T20WorldCup #indiawins

🧵🧵 A short history of IISERs : Based on this book by Ritajyoti Bandyopadhyay and N Sathyamurthy

We have developed Cu nanoparticles with excellent stability & light-to-heat energy conversion efficiency, for plasmon-driven high-temperature studies.The work is out in Chemical Science. Congratulations to Shreya Tyagi Radha Krishna Kashyap Ankit Dhankhar pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
