Research Overview

Singh's group specializes in molecular designs of stimuli-responsive self-assemblies aimed at innovative formation of supramolecular structures. The group aims to pioneer dynamic supramolecular materials with unique structural and functional properties. This involves pushing the boundaries of stimuli-responsive designs and exploring innovative, sustainable approaches for self-assembly processes across scales.

Group's research interests

  • Non-Equilibrium Self-Assemblies: Design of reaction cycles to drive non-equilibrium self-assembly.

  • 3D Persistent Superstructures: Creation of giant, responsive, and reversible superstructures with macroscopic dimensions.

  • 'Reactive' Coacervates: Development of simple and complex coacervates with chemical responsiveness.
