Bio-sketch:

I was born at Sainthia, a small city in West Bengal, India. After completing my schooling in 2016, I have joined Abhedananda Mahavidyalaya for graduate studies with chemistry major under Burdwan University. In 2019, I have moved to Kolkata for my Int-PhD programme in Chemical Sciences at Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science. During my Masters, I have been worked on MOFs, supramolecular gels using essential amino acids. Later, in 2021 I have shifted my interest into photo-mediated organic transformation using metal complexes. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD on developing new photocatalytic methods using visible light.
