About
I am a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Kalyani, West Bengal, India. I am an accomplished educator, researcher, and academic with more than 25 years of experience in university-level teaching and research, including five years of service as the Head of the Department of Physics.
I obtained Ph.D. in Physics from the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, India. During 2002–2003, I served as a Visiting Associate Professor-Researcher at the International Innovation Center, Kyoto University, Japan. Subsequently, during 2004–2005, I worked as a Contract Researcher under the Structuring European Research Area (SERA) program at the Grenoble High Magnetic Field Laboratory, France.
I received the Young Scientist Award from the Materials Research Society of India (MRSI) in 2001. In recognition of my contributions to scientific peer review, I was honoured with the Best Reviewer Award by Communications Materials (Nature Publications) in 2024.
My research interests encompass: (1) Rare-earth-based spin-frustrated quantum materials, (2) Transition-metal-based functional materials, (3) Molecular magnets, and (4) Machine-learning applications in materials science. My research employs a multidisciplinary approach that integrates experimental techniques with theoretical and computational methods to understand and design advanced functional and emerging quantum materials.
I am also the author of the book: An Introduction to Nuclear Physics, published by Narosa Publishing House (New Delhi) and Alfa Science International (Oxford).
