RESEARCH AREA
Theoretical investigations of organic Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) materials and their use in Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) and other optoelectronic devices using different higher-level quantum chemical methods. Characterization of TADF materials and their optoelectronic studies using ab-initio and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. The study of structural, electronic, photophysical, charge transfer, and electronic excitation properties is my main area of interest.

KEYWORDS
Quantum chemical methods, density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), Open and closed shell molecular systems.
