Quantum dynamics & Spectroscopy group
Welcome
to Our Group
We are a group of theoretical and computational chemists, working in the exciting areas of quantum dynamics and spectroscopy of molecules (QDSM). Our studies of QDSM relies on the explicit inclusion of molecular vibronic interactions and light-matter interactions (classical and quantum). The specific areas/topics of interest are electronic ring currents in, cavity QED with, and 2D-electronic spectroscopy of, molecules.
About the PI
Myself Krishna R. Nandipati with a PhD and postdoctoral experience (see below) in the field of of theoretical/computational quantum dynamics and spectroscopy of molecules. Currently, I am working as an assistant professor at chemistry department, IIT Madras. I hope you find here the information you are looking for.
