Key research interests

The research programme of our group is devoted to functional dyes and the development of methodologies for the self-assembly of pi-conjugated molecules into nanoscale and condensed phase materials for highly desirable (opto-)electronic, photovoltaic and biomedical applications as well as(photo-)catalytic water splitting.

IRTG 2991 - Photoluminescence in Supramolecular Matrices

The International Research Training Group 2991 is an interdisciplinary, knowledge-driven research and training program on innovative supramolecular functional materials with photoluminescent properties. In close collaboration between researchers at JMU Würzburg and the IISER Thiruvananthapuram the team conducts cutting edge research on fluorescent, phosphorescent and higher complexity luminescent materials by making use of smart supramolecular matrices.
