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.r External link.. In 2004, I commenced my PhD project at the I 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 External link.)
- Molecular Recognition Process at the Organic/Inorganic Interface; Aggregation Behavior of Multiheaded Anionic Surfactants – Using Neutron Scattering Experiments (in association with Prof. Adrian Rennie and Dr. Maja Hellsing)
