I was born in May 1985 in Kalyani, West Bengal, India. I obtained my B.Sc. (in 2006) and M.Sc. (in 2008) from the University of Calcutta, West Bengal. I received my Ph.D. degree in 2014 from the Department of Chemistry of the same university under the supervision of Prof. Ashutosh Ghosh. Then, I worked as a Dr. D. S. Kothari post-doctoral fellow under the supervision of Professor Subratanath Koner at Jadavpur University, Kolkata (2014), and after that, I worked with Prof. Robert Baker at the School of Chemistry, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland (2014–2016) as an innovative postdoctoral fellow via the Irish Research Council. Then I joined the Department of Chemistry at Katwa College in June 2017 as an assistant professor and have been working till date.
My research interests are:
1. Coordination chemistry of transition metals
2. Metal Organic Frameworks
3. Radiochemistry
