Upasana Mukherjee's work focuses on developing new catalytic chemical reactions, particularly ones driven by light-activated metal catalysts (such as copper and palladium) that generate reactive radical intermediates to build complex molecules, including modified sugars (carbohydrates) and nitrogen-containing ring compounds. Some recent work also touches on materials for electronic switching devices, such as resistive memory components made from thin films and nanowires. This research spans synthetic organic chemistry and materials characterization, including crystal structure determination.
