\"\"Hello, I\u2019m Dr. Syed Ali Abbas Abedi, a computational chemist passionate about molecular engineering, photostability, and quantum simulations. I\u2019m currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), where I design organic fluorophores for photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy, merging quantum chemical modeling with real-world biomedical applications.<\/p>\n

During my Ph.D. at SUTD under Prof. Xiaogang Liu<\/a>, I focused on the excited-state conformational dynamics of organic dyes, using methods like TD-DFT, CASSCF, and CASPT2 to unravel mechanisms behind ultralong phosphorescence and photoinduced processes.<\/p>\n

In 2023, I broadened my research horizons as a Visiting Scholar at University College London and Queen Mary University of London, collaborating with Prof. Rachel Crespo-Otero to simulate excited-state decay pathways in solid-state systems and develop photostable materials. These experiences sharpened my expertise in nonadiabatic dynamics, machine learning for molecular design, and advanced photochemical simulations.<\/p>\n

My long-term vision is to harness computation to create smarter, more sustainable materials, whether in biomedical diagnostics, optoelectronics, or environmental sensing.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s connect and collaborate on reshaping molecular science for the future.<\/p>\n
