Tushar Suhasaria is a laboratory astrochemist with an interest in studying the synthesis of complex organic molecules of prebiotic significance. He is developing an experimental setup at the origin of life laboratory where he can use different light based approaches to trigger chemical reactions from astrophysically relevant mixed ices. The reaction products will be identified in situ, at low temperature, by a series of lasers and spectroscopic techniques and also ex situ, after warming up to room temperature, by wet chemical approach.
