About Me

Srijit Mukherjee, as he was named after being born to Swapnajit and Rita Mukerji is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University under the tutelage of Prof. Steven G. Boxer.

Switching back to first person -

I was born in the bustling city of Kolkata (erst. Calcutta), in eastern India. A graduate from the Assembly of God Church School, Park Street - I decided to move to the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Mohali owing to the fascination I had with Physics and Chemistry at school. Luckily or unluckily as the rat raced pushed a multitude of the generation to the silicon based industry in engineering, I was fascinated to pursue some basic science as an undergraduate. Further motivated by an excellent niche at IISER-M, with some fantastic faculty, I ended up pursuing my graduate school at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Though I majored in Chemistry, Physics and Biology have always intrigued me, and here I am - a graduate student of Molecular Biophysics.

Apart from being the science nerd -

I love outdoor activities - hiking, running and a current favorite - biking is always on the cards. I might not be the best sportsman on the field but I enjoy playing all kinds of sports, with soccer, badminton and cricket in particular. I am an avid soccer fan with a honest love for the red devils and the German National Football team. I have an honest opinion on the south asian fantasy of cricket, with my support extending to my home team of Kolkata Knight Riders. A traditional family from West Bengal ( #Ghoti ) means I express the phenotype to express my warm love for Mohun Bagan and an inherent hate for East Bengal FC.

I love photography, cooking, a warm beverage and finally a daily dosage of Netflix.
