ABOUT ME
I did my Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India in 2014 under Prof. Debabrata Pradhan. Subsequently I have moved to Tokyo University of Science for postdoctoral experience under Prof. Akira Fujishima. My present research interests at the Department of Chemistry, University of North Bengal include artificial photosynthesis, strategic point improvements for stable catalyst design, fuel cells, and environmental cleanup.
