1. My research interest is in the general areas of Photophysical Photochemistry to develop novel paradigms for understanding the behaviour of fluorescent molecular probing in organised assemblies like micelles, microemulsions & cyclodextrins also to understand interactions fluorescent drugs in organised assemblies. Currently my research area focused on (1) Photophysical Studies in Solution and Organized Assemblies and (2) Dye-Surfactant Interaction.
