This document is a proposal submitted by Dr. Rajamouli Boddua to the Uka Tarsadia University Research Promotion Scheme in September 2018. The proposal outlines a molecular materials project using lanthanide elements for OLED applications. The proposal includes an introduction to lanthanides, objectives and strategy for the project, a summary of work, expected outcomes, budget and timeline, and details of the principal investigator's expertise. If funded, the project aims to design new luminescent materials using rare earth elements for uses in lamps, displays, biomedical markers, lasers, and telecommunications.
