Baiju P. Krishnan

Baiju P. Krishnan's research focuses on designing and studying dynamic and responsive materials, including crosslinked polymers, gels, and crystals that can change shape, self-heal, or respond to light, heat, or magnetic fields. Much of the work involves using chemical reactions that occur within solid or gel-like structures (topochemical reactions) to build new materials such as polymers, sensors, and fluorescent nanoparticles with tunable properties. This work sits at the intersection of chemistry and materials science, often involving crystal structure analysis and self-assembly of molecules.

Publication output has been relatively low and variable over the last decade, with occasional active years (e.g., 2018, 2020, 2024) interspersed with quieter periods, averaging just over one publication per year in the last five years.
