Radhika Gupta

I am a post-doctoral researcher in the field of computational chemistry. I obtained my doctoral degree from Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, France) working on the electronic structure and reactivity of NHC-borenium catalysts. Currently, I am working as a research associate at IISc, Bangalore on antimony-based Lewis acid catalysts, investigating their reactivity in solution and also understanding the differences in the structure of these catalysts in gaseous, solution, and crystalline environments using computational chemistry. I have extensive experience in applying various computational methodologies like NBO analysis, QTAIM analysis, ETS-NOCV analysis, ELF analysis, and Non-covalent interaction analysis to molecular systems as well as analyzing the data generated from these to extract chemical significance from them. In addition, I have experience in using VASP to understand crystalline solids.
