Dr. Aakash Nidhankar

About

I am a chemist with a PhD in 2023, currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at TU Dortmund University, Germany, specialising in organic and organometallic photoactive materials. My research expertise lies in multi-step chemical synthesis and comprehensive photophysical characterisation, including UV-Vis absorption, steady-state emission spectroscopy, excited-state lifetime measurements, circular dichroism (CD), circularly polarised luminescence (CPL), and quantum yield analysis. I acquired the skills to work on gloveboxes and on Schlenk lines, and to carry out all analytical methods under appropriate conditions. Beyond my current focus, I am open to expanding into new research directions within chemistry, especially interdisciplinary areas that integrate materials science, photochemistry, and applied molecular design. I am always interested in collaborations, research opportunities, and discussions that push scientific boundaries.
