I started as a postdoctoral researcher in the Organic Electronics group at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in November 2023. I am focusing on studying the interfacial charge recombination processes in metal halide perovskite solar cells.
I completed my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry honours from Seth Anandram Jaipuria College, University of Calcutta, Kolkata, in 2012. I finished my Master's degree with a specialization in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Calcutta (Rajabazar Science College, Kolkata) in 2014. Then I moved to the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai in 2015 to conduct my Ph.D. research with Prof. Gopalan Rajaraman at the Department of Chemistry. My research interests during my PhD include the investigation of Spin-Hamiltonian parameters in single-molecule magnets containing transition metal and lanthanide ions through ab initio and DFT methodologies. In 2021, I joined at the University of Chicago as a postdoctoral fellow to work with Prof. Laura Gagliardi. There I worked in the area of multi-configuration pair-density functional theory (MC-PDFT) towards its application to magnetic systems and electronic band structure calculation of metal-organic frameworks.
