About

I am currently serving as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Sharda University. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Presidency University, Kolkata and completed my masters degree at IIT Guwahati with a specialization in physical chemistry. I pursued my doctoral studies at IIT Guwahati under the guidance of Prof. Arun Chattopadhyay, specializing in the fascinating field of materials science.
Throughout my doctoral journey, a significant research accomplishment was achieving hierarchical angular stacking of two-dimensional crystalline nanosheets with specific twist angles through chemical guidance. This resulted in the creation of quasiperiodic lattices and moiré superlattices comprised of luminescent nanoclusters. This breakthrough in twisted stacking, based on chemical principles, holds great promise for chemists to explore a wide array of exciting new phenomena utilizing the concept of moiré physics.
My research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of novel materials, with specific interests in materials chemistry, 2D materials, nanomaterials, and moiré superlattices. My work aims to contribute to the development of advanced materials with diverse applications in various fields.
