Kochan S. Bejoymohandas

Born in India in 1988. I obtained my PhD in Chemical Sciences with honours in 2017 from the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) / CSIR-NIIST Thiruvananthapuram Campus (India). I carried out postdoctoral research at POSTECH (South Korea, 2017–19) and at CNR-ISOF as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellow (2020–22). I have been a III-level Researcher at CNR-ISOF since January 2023, serving as Principal Investigator of two MSCA Young Researchers Grant projects (2022 & 2024), attracting over €700,000.00 in competitive funding to the institute. 23 peer-reviewed publications in international journals; 705 total citations, H-index 14, i10-index 15 (as of May 2026).

Design, synthesis and photophysical characterisation of luminescent organometallic complexes of Ir(III), Pt(II) and Ln(III) for OLEDs, photocatalytic CO₂ reduction, chemical sensing and photodynamic therapy. Focus on supramolecular hetero-multinuclear arrays and single-molecule white-light emitters.
