About me
Academic background
After obtaining my B.Sc. (Hons.) degree from the University of Calcutta, INDIA in 2000, I joined to the Integrated PhD Programme at the Indian Institute of Science External link., Bangalore, INDIA. Later at the same Institute, at the Chemical Biology Group, Department of Organic Chemistry, I studied as a Research Student with a project entitled ‘Synthesis, purification and characterization of novel poly-cationic surfactants. Study of their aggregation behavior in aqueous solution’, guided by Prof. Santanu Bhattacharya
External link. and Prof. Jayanta Halda

External link.an Wark Research Institute, University of South Australia
External link., AUSTRALIA with Laureate Prof. John Ralston
External link., Dr. Rossen Sedev
External link. and Dr. Jingfang Zhou. The title of my PhD thesis was ‘Design of Pyrimidine-based Photoresponsive Surfaces and Light Induced Wettability Control’. In 2008, after my PhD, I moved to Luleå University of Technology
External link., SWEDEN to work as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow. At present my main research interest is-
- Synthesis and study of novel mineral-specific collectors for improved flotation recovery: (in association with Associate Prof. Anna-Carin Larsson
External link., Prof. Christina Wanhainen
External link. and Prof. Hanumantha Rao Kota
External link.)
- Studies of environmentally friendly flame retardants(in association with Associate Prof. Anna-Carin Larsson
External link., Ms. Suchandra Sar, Dr. Biplab Roy
External link., Prof. Michael Försth
External link., Ms. Rozita Amiri, and Prof. Anne Elise Steen-Hansen)
- Study of agrregation behavior of mixed surfactants (in association with Prof. Amiya Kumar Panda
External link. and Dr. Manas Barai
External link.)
- Preparation of hybrid vesicles and gel materials as drug delivery system (in association with Prof. Amiya Kumar Panda
External link., Prof. Chandradipa Ghosh and Prof. Santanu Bhattacharya
External link.)
- Isolation, Purification and Characterization of Natural Products (in association with Prof. Amiya Kumar Panda
External link., Prof. Chandradipa Ghosh and Senior Lecturer Josefine Enman
