Ph.D. 

Location: Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India  (Advisor: Prof. Arindam Chowdhury)

Dissertation Title: Probing Molecular Interactions and Orientations using Spectrally and Polarization Resolved Fluorescence Microscopy

• Developed polarization-resolved single-molecule tracking (PR-SMT) method to decipher genuine pauses within a super-resolved trajectory.

• Designed spectrally-resolved sensitized emission imaging to authenticate biomolecular interaction/proximity in noncovalent assemblies.

• Developed polarization-resolved helical anisotropy imaging to investigate the polymorphism in amyloid fibril.

• Super-resolution imaging (dSTORM) of amyloid fibrils.

• Self-assemblies of seleno-peptides into different supra-molecular architecture.
