Faculty applications, 2026–27
I am applying for faculty and independent research positions in India, the United States and internationally, beginning in the 2026–27 cycle. My research programme is described in the research statement; I am glad to discuss fit, start-up requirements or collaboration.
For prospective students
If you are considering graduate study in ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy, interfacial electrochemistry or polaritonic chemistry, I am happy to talk about what the work involves day to day — including the parts that are slow and frustrating, which are a real part of building and running these instruments. A short note about what drew you to the area is more useful to me than a formal cover letter.
