Ranjit Biswas

Broad research areas: Physical Chemistry

In the research group of Prof. Ranjit Biswas, they perform experiments, develop theory and employ computer simulations to generate an integrated understanding of chemical events in complex systems.

Their research has led to significant insights into the (i) structure and dynamics of deep eutectic solvents, (ii) relaxation mechanism in ionic liquids and (ionic liquid + polar solvent) binary mixtures, (iii) aggregation in aqueous solutions (iv) slow dynamics in confined aqueous environments and (v) mechanism that decouples solute rotation from electrostatic interactions.
