We are an interdisciplinary research group located in the Department of Chemistry at University of Virginia interested in enabling a rational design of materials with improved properties using a structure-based approach. We develop sensitivity-enhanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy to characterize molecules and materials critical for sustainable chemistry in energy and health applications.
We are a part of the UVA Catalysis Initiative for Clean Energy and Chemicals, which is supported by the UVA Grand Challenges Initiative.

- Graduate students will need to be admitted to the UVA Chemistry graduate program first.
- Undergraduate students interested in joining the group should contact Dr. Venkatesh with a CV and transcript. Undergraduate students spend 10-12 hours in the lab.
Reach out to Dr. Venkatesh if you are interested in attending our group meeting.
