Ramjee Group – Summer 2023

The Ramjee group is broadly interested in the interfacial area of nanomaterials, supramolecular chemistry and organic synthesis.  Our research involves synthesis of nano and organic materials, towards applications in nanomedicine, sensing and catalysis among others. For a number of chemical and biological applications the surface characteristics of metallic, metal oxide and polymeric nanoparticles need to be modified by appropriate ligand engineering.

Our current research is focused on  

• Synthesis and functionalization of polymeric nanostructures, in particular nanocapsules
• Ligand effects in the synthesis and dynamics of metallic and bimetallic nanoparticles
• Synthesis and functionalization of anisotropic nanoparticles
• Nanocatalysis
