The Role of Viscosity on Various Dynamical Processes of Coumarin 153 in Room Temperature Ionic Liquid-Cosolvent Mixture: A Femtosecond Fluorescence Upconversion Study
M.Sc. Thesis Project
Advisor: Prof. Nilmoni Sarkar
IIT Kharagpur, 2017-2018
Investigated the solvation dynamics of a fluorophore in Room Temp Ionic Liquid (RTIL)-cosolvent (water, methanol) mixtures using femtosecond spectroscopy to enhance the miscibility of solutes in RTILs and established addition of cosolvents in RTILs broadens their scope of using as an industrial solvent.
Multi-stimuli Responsive Fabrication of Supramolecular Assemblies Using Ionic Self-assembly Approach
M.Sc. Project
Advisor: Prof. Nilmoni Sarkar
IIT Kharagpur, 2017 - 2018
Examined the effect of multiple stimuli on the aggregation behavior of a cyanine dye using FESEM, FILM, DLS, and steady-state spectroscopy to develop new protocols using ionic self-assembly strategy for synthesizing novel materials that have promising applications in the field of catalysis and microreactors.
