Deepak obtained his doctoral degree (2013) from the School of Physical Sciences (SPS), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, India. In 2014, Deepak was awarded with the prestigious JSPS fellowship by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences academy to pursue two years of postdoctoral research at Kyushu University, Japan. As a JSPS fellow, Deepak started working on lipid-assisted triplet-triplet annihilation-based photon up-conversion (TTA-UC) in aqueous systems. Deepak’s fascination with giant molecular systems, rings, rotaxanes and molecular cages finally made him travel across the world from Japan to the United Kingdom (UK). In December 2016 Deepak joined the Molecular Magnets group at the School of Chemistry, The University of Manchester, UK. Working with Prof. Richard E. P. Winpenny in the molecular magnets team, Deepak spent his most of the time synthesising and modifying octanuclear heterometallic {Cr7M} wheels to generate complex multi-qubit systems. In April 2021, Deepak joined the Chemistry Department at Ashoka University. Deepak’s current research interests are about designing new molecular materials for light harvesting and opto-electronic applications. The primary focus is on the synthesis of ideal fluorescent systems capable of exhibiting exciting optical properties, specially, circularly polarised luminescence (CPL). Utilizing LEGO-chemistry, Deepak aims to design highly efficient light harvesting systems for photon up-conversion of low intensity lights. Deepak is also interested in design and synthesis of rotaxane and catenane based materials with particular interest in systems allowing external stimuli-based mechanical activities.
