Myself born in February, 1986 at Belda, West Bengal, India. I obtained my B.Sc (in 2006) and M.Sc (in 2008) from Vidyasagar University, West Bengal. I received my Ph.D. degree on 10.12.2014 from Jadavpur University, West Bengal  under the supervision of Prof. Sujoy Baitalik. Then, I worked as a Dr. D. S. Kothari post-doctoral research associate with Professor Sasankasekhar Mohanta at University of Calcutta, West Bengal, India (2015-2017). I joined the Department of Chemistry at the Katwa College in November, 2017 as an assistant professor and have been working till date.

My research interests are:

 1. Inorganic Photochemistry

2. Electrochemistry

3. Anion Sensing
