The Bagchi research group is an interdisciplinary team of chemists, physicists, and chemical engineers located at Rice University. The aim of the Bagchi Research group is to understand molecular organization and dynamics in functional organic materials.  Material systems of interest include 1) semiconducting organic glasses, 2) pharmaceutical solids, and 3) photonic liquid crystals. We use scattering, imaging, and spectroscopy to characterize soft and organic materials.Understanding functional organic materials at the molecular level is key to improving their applicability for healthcare and sustainability applications.
