chemistry research groups in europe (for an international student)
hi, i am from India and have just finished my master's. i am keen on applying for a phd, and would appreciate any help for the same. i like organic chemistry, but don't want to join a hardcore synthesis lab (idt ive the brains for that too lol). the lab where i did my master's thesis worked on functional organic materials. the focus was to create novel molecules, rather than developing novel synthetic methodology. i am sure this is what i want to pursue for future as well. the gist of my thesis was to impart fluorescence in an otherwise non-emissivse scaffold by synthesising donor-acceptor architecture. i am looking for similar labs actually, something in the domain of organic chemistry and materials chemistry. think frank wurthner, for example. also, my PI was very shitty, extremely toxic. is there a way to ensure that this isn't the case during PhD as well (assuming I'll secure one)?
