ONGOING RESEARCH PROJECT
Investigation of Compaction of DNA by Some Potential Surfactants in Presence of Nanoparticles and Decompaction Induced by Cyclodextrins using Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Small Angle Neutron Scattering Techniques. Funded by UGC-DAE Consortium For Scientific Research, Mumbai Centre, B.A.R.C., Mumbai.
MAJOR RESEARCH PROJECT COMPLETED:
1. Probing Twisted
Intramolecular Charge Transfer Fluorescence to Characterise the Micelles
of Some Gemini Surfactants. Funded by UGC.
2. Twisted
Intramolecular Charge Transfer (TICT) Fluorescence Probing Studies of
Micropolarity and Microviscosity of Different Types of Gemini Micelles.
Funded by CSIR.
3. Study on physicochemical and interfacial properties of some mixed
micellar systems of novel Gemini and conventional
surfactants in water and water-organic solvent mixed media. Funded by Aditya Birla Group.
4. Investigation of unfolding and refolding of proteins by gemini
surfactants with varying spacer groups using fluorescence spectroscopy and small-angle
neutron scattering techniques. Funded by UGC-DAE Consortium For Scientific
Research, Mumbai Centre, B.A.R.C., Mumbai.
5. Effect of Chemical Nature of Spacer group, Headgroups and
Counterions of Gemini Surfactants on Solvation Dynamics and Rotational Relaxation of Coumarins in Aqueous
Micelles. Funded by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi.
