The Laboratory for Ultrafast Chiroptical Sciences, led by Professor Soumen Ghosh, is housed at the Department of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry in Indian Institute of Science. We are primarily in interested in understanding chirality and harnessing chirality at femtosecond timescales. Towards this goal, we develop and apply novel optical tools such as state-of-the-art broadband femtosecond circular dichroism spectroscopy and related polarization-resolved techniques to investigate chiroptical and magneto-optical dynamics in excited electronic states. This is crucial to understand biological functions, and will lead to improved design of next-generation materials for a sustainable energy future.
