I discovered a passion for chemistry research in the lab of Tarun K. Sarkar, developing methodologies for oxo-alkyne benzannulation reaction at IIT Kharagpur during my M.Sc. I completed my Ph.D. at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Jadavpur under the mentorship of Professor Abhishek Dey studying the electrocatalysis for water splitting and carbon-di-oxide reduction with molecular catalysts. I attended 1st Cyclic Voltammetry International School at University of Paris, Diderot as a part of enhancing my research skills in modern electrocatalysis with Professor Jean-Michel Save\u2019ant. I next pursued post-doctoral research with Professor Shannon Stahl at the University of Wisconsin- Madison where I mostly work on thermodynamic control in oxygen reduction reaction with molecular catalysts. Contrasting my work on electrocatalytic activation of small molecules with molecular catalysts, in my second post-doctoral research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev with Professor Menny Shalom, I focused on electrocatalysis for organic molecule oxidation with heterogeneous catalysts. I joined IIT Gandhinagar in September (13th), 2021 and my research is mostly focused on (photo)-electrocatalysis for energy and biomass conversion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9fbcd7a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9fbcd7a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3bd6e32\" data-id=\"3bd6e32\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e8773e1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e8773e1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e92bd31\" data-id=\"e92bd31\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-9f9ce53 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9f9ce53\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-bef0d19\" data-id=\"bef0d19\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-479ba7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"479ba7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-size: 25px; color: #070707;\"><strong>Awards &amp; Recognitions<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"color: #1d1d1d;\">\u2022 Thieme Chemistry Journals Award, 2025<br \/>\u2022 Selected as an Early Career Chemist to represent CRSI\/ICS in the 3rd Commonwealth Chemistry Congress<br \/>\u2022 SMC- Emerging Scientist Award, Society for Materials Chemistry, 2024<br \/>\u2022 Featured as Chem.
