The Laboratory for Ultrafast Chiroptical Sciences, led by Professor Soumen Ghosh, is based in the Department of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Science. Our research is focused on exploring and utilizing chirality on femtosecond timescales. To achieve this, we develop and apply cutting-edge optical techniques—such as broadband femtosecond circular dichroism spectroscopy and advanced polarization-resolved methods—to study ultrafast chiroptical and magneto-optical dynamics in electronically excited states. This work is essential to deepening our understanding of biological function and paves the way for the rational design of next-generation materials aimed at a sustainable energy future.
