Bio

I am Dr. Rajendra P Giri. I completed Ph.D in physics (experimental) from Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata (India) in 2017. Afterwards, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Kiel University (Germany), and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg (Germany). I earned M.Sc. in physics from IIT Kharagpur and B.Sc. (Physics Hons.) from Ramakrishna Mission Residential College Narendrapur (under CU, Kolkata).

I am an experimental physicist specializing in the study of interfacial phenomena at soft surfaces and interfaces. My research focuses on biophysical systems, nano-bio interfaces, and liquid surfaces, with an emphasis on the biomolecular films containing proteins, cholesterol, drugs, and xenobiotic nanoparticles. I employ advanced experimental techniques such as X-ray reflectivity (XRR), grazing incidence diffraction (GID), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), neutron scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, in-plane rhology, microscopy techniques, and Langmuir-Blodgett-based thermodynamic measurements. Additionally, I investigate highly non-equilibrium phenomena including capillary wave and electron solvation dynamics at liquid interfaces at atomic length scales and sub-nanosecond timescales.
