Dr. Kalaivanan Nagarajan | Chemistry | Young Scientist Award

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai | India

Dr. Kalaivanan Nagarajan research focuses on exploring the fundamental and applied aspects of light–matter strong coupling, particularly vibrational strong coupling (VSC), to understand and manipulate chemical reactivity and material properties within optical cavities. By integrating principles from physical chemistry, quantum electrodynamics, and materials science, the work investigates how molecular vibrations interact coherently with confined optical modes in Fabry–Perot cavities to form hybrid light–matter states known as vibrational polaritons. These studies reveal how strong coupling conditions can reshape potential energy surfaces, influence molecular structure, dynamics, and reaction kinetics, and ultimately enable control of chemical transformations without the need for external photoexcitation. A key highlight of this research is the demonstration that VSC can modulate phase transition behaviors, such as the glass transition temperature of polymers like polyvinyl acetate and polystyrene, providing experimental evidence of cavity-modified thermomechanical properties. Through systematic spectroscopic, thermodynamic, and theoretical investigations, the research establishes how vacuum electromagnetic fields play an active role in determining material behavior and chemical outcomes. This pioneering approach contributes to the emerging field of polariton chemistry, offering new pathways for designing energy-efficient reactions, reactivity control strategies, and material innovations driven by quantum light–matter interactions.

The research focuses on advancing pharmacological science through multidisciplinary approaches involving drug discovery, nanotechnology, computational modeling, and translational pharmacology. Current investigations explore the computational identification of skeletal muscle-specific AMPK activators for type-2 diabetes therapy, aiming to enhance metabolic regulation and therapeutic efficacy. Additional studies examine the cardioprotective potential of Artocarpus heterophyllus against isoprenaline-induced myocardial infarction and the neuroprotective role of Coenzyme Q10 as an adjuvant to nanostructured lipid carriers loaded with Adenium obesum in ethanol-induced cognitive impairment models. The work integrates molecular biology, biochemistry, and pharmacokinetic analysis to identify novel therapeutic pathways and biomarker targets. Emphasis is also placed on nanocarrier-based drug delivery for neurological and cardiovascular disorders, focusing on improving bioavailability and site-specific targeting. Parallel research on nanotherapeutics addresses challenges in treating conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, psoriasis, and Clostridioides difficile infection. The studies utilize a combination of in silico, in vitro, and in vivo methodologies to develop innovative solutions in pharmacology and toxicology. Through experimental validation and advanced modeling, this research contributes to understanding drug mechanisms, enhancing safety profiles, and formulating next-generation therapeutics for complex diseases, thereby supporting the global goal of precision medicine and sustainable healthcare innovation.
