Chemical reactions on catalytic surfaces are often very complex, and involve several elementary steps such as collision of atom\/molecules with the surface, energy dissipation, adsorption, diffusion, bond breaking\/making desorption and so on. Our research work is aimed at understanding these elementary processes and their roles in the overall chemical transformation at an atomic level detail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our work involves at looking into these elementary reactive and non-reactive, inelastic scattering processes using state of the art, quantum state resolved molecule \u2013 surface scattering experiments. These measurements comprise of a combination of molecular beam techniques, surface science methods and laser spectroscopy based preparation and detection of molecules.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our work is supported by:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intramural funds at TIFR Hyderabad provided by the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, under Project Identification No. RTI 4007<\/li>\n<li>Scientific and Engineering Research Board, Department of Science and Technology, India<\/li>\n<li>i-HUB, Quantum Technology Foundation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">We strive to maintain a stimulating and inclusive working environment.
