Prof. Frank Würthner from Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg, (former institution of Emil Fischer) gave a remarkable talk on functional dyes, self-assembly of π-conjugated molecules and the photoluminescence of supramolecular systems. He is also the PhD advisor of my Prof. Sanchita Sengupta.

Prof. Frank Würthner Würthner Group from Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg, a Jubilee Chair Professor from the Indian Academy of Sciences, delivered a fascinating talk on Supramolecular Engineering of Functional Nanosystems hosted by Department of Chemical Sciences IISER Mohali IISER Mohali

Prof. Würthner gave an exciting lecture on the theory of Exciton Coupling dedicated to UG students. He discussed about Davydov’s Molecular Exciton Model , type of dye aggregates (J and H) and the landmark 1963 paper of Michael Kasha . Sanchita Sengupta Würthner Group

Today Prof. Wuerthner Würthner Group gave an engaging guest lecture in our photochemistry course on excitonic coupling theory, H-/J-aggregation and the thermodynamic aspects of dye self assembly. Also visited the labs and had insightful interactions with the DCS faculties.

Last week we had n enriching experience hosting Prof. Würthner Würthner Group at IISER Mohali, with his fascinating lecture on supramolecular engineering of nanosystems, fantastic photochemistry guest lectures, lab visits, interaction with students &colleagues Department of Chemical Sciences IISER Mohali

Department of Chemical Sciences IISER Mohali and CRSI Chandigarh local chapter are organising a one-day workshop on the theme 'Special Topics in Chemistry' on March 10, 2025 (Monday) IISER Mohali to motivate BSc/MSc students majoring in chemistry to pursue research as a career option.
