I was born on January 1st, 1977 in a quaint little village in the south Indian state of Kerala. I am a Professor and Associate Chair of the New Chemistry Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore, India. I obtained my PhD degree at the National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology, India in 2004 and during 2005-2008 I was a post-doctoral fellow at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands.

I am currently leading an Organic Materials and Supramolecular Chemistry group at JNCASR. My current research interests focus on Organic Responsive and Adaptive Materials, Functional Supramolecular Polymers, Living and Non-equilibrium supramolecular polymerization, Supramolecular Chirality and Organic optoelectronic materials.

I am the recipient of the prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar (SSB) Prize for Science and Technology from the Government of India in the Chemical Sciences Category for the year 2020. I was also the recipient of Swaranjayanti Fellowship from Department of Science and Technology of Government of India (2017), Asian Photochemistry Association (APA) Young Scientist award (2015), NASI-SCOPUS Young Scientist Award in Chemistry (2015), Chemical Research Society of India Bronze Medal (2015) and Materials Research Society of India Medal (2013).

In 2011-2013 I was a Young Associate of the Indian Academy of Sciences and in 2019 I was elected as a Fellow of Indian Academy of Sciences. I am currently a member of the Editorial Advisory Boards of Chemistry of Materials (ACS), Material Horizons (RSC), Chem (Cell) and Organic Materials (Thieme).
