Work History
Postdoc
Technical University of Denmark
Lyngby
07.2021 - 10.2023
- During my postdoc, I have the privilege of working on an exciting research project titled "Investigating the Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid to H2 in Ionic Liquid using a Pincer Complex of First Row Transition Metal." This project (funded by Carlsberg Foundation) aimed to develop a green, sustainable and efficient method to produce hydrogen gas (H2) by utilizing formic acid as a hydrogen carrier
- I worked in the group of Associate Professor Martin Nielsen, a renowned expert in the field of renewable energy and catalysis.
- The key focus was on exploring the potential of low cost Manganese catalyst for hydrogen production from formic acid without any hazardous additives at moderate temperature.

02.2020 - 11.2020
- Research in the field of applied inorganic chemistry: Application of organometallic compounds in electronic memory devices collaborating with National University of Singapore and Texas A&M University.
- Project Supervisor: Professor Sreebrata Goswami
Ph.D.
IACS, Kolkata
Kolkata
01.2015 - 02.2020
- Project Undertaken during Ph.D.: "Ligand Center Redox Events in Transition Metal Complexes and Their Application in Catalysis"
- Project Supervisor: Professor Sreebrata Goswami
- The work was primarily divided into two areas of application: (i) · Chemical catalysis by redox-active molecules (azo aromatics) to create valuable chemicals, (ii) · Molecular memristors or molecular semiconductors.
- I developed low cost transition metal energy storage molecules suitable in chemical catalysis and organic neuromorphic device.
- synthesis of nitrogen based organic molecules/metal organic catalyst
