Adithya Lakshmanna

Dr. Adithya Lakshmanna is an Assistant Professor at the School of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram (IISER TVM). His research focuses on excited-state reaction dynamics involving electron and proton transfer processes, utilizing ultrafast coherent Raman and IR spectroscopy.

• Education: PhD from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, under Prof. S. Umapathy; MSc from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.

His work emphasizes structural dynamics in photo-initiated reactions, particularly proton-coupled electron transfer, and developing multidimensional ultrafast spectroscopic methods to study quantum coherences. He has secured a Core Research Grant from the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), Government of India.

Teaching areas include Theoretical Spectroscopy, Quantum Chemistry, Chemical Kinetics, and Thermodynamics. His laboratory focuses on structural aspects of photochemical reactions and employs advanced femtosecond spectroscopic techniques.
