About
Dr. Swarbhanu Ghosh is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Chemistry at McGill University, Canada, working under the supervision of Prof. Parisa A. Ariya. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry (Heterogeneous Catalysis) from the University of Kalyani, India, in 2021. Prior to joining McGill University, he held postdoctoral appointments at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras and IIT Kanpur.
His research focuses on sustainable chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis, carbon dioxide capture and utilization, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous organic materials, and metal-free catalytic systems for clean energy and environmental applications. His current work involves the development of advanced catalytic materials for CO₂ conversion into value-added chemicals and fuels, as well as investigations into excited-state charge-transfer processes in functional porous materials.
Dr. Ghosh has authored more than 45 peer-reviewed publications in leading journals, including ACS Catalysis, ChemSusChem, Communications Materials (Nature Portfolio), ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, ChemCatChem, and Dalton Transactions. He is also an inventor on Indian patents related to CO₂ utilization and advanced functional materials.
His research vision is centered on developing next-generation sustainable catalytic technologies and advancing a new conceptual framework, Entropy-Assisted Excited-State Engineering (EAESE), aimed at understanding and controlling charge separation and photocatalytic processes in ionic materials. Through interdisciplinary research integrating materials synthesis, spectroscopy, catalysis, and computational chemistry, he seeks to contribute to carbon-neutral technologies, renewable energy conversion, and climate-change mitigation.
Research Interests: Heterogeneous Catalysis, Photocatalysis, CO₂ Capture and Utilization, Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs), Porous Organic Materials, Sustainable Chemistry, Carbon-Neutral Technologies, Materials Chemistry, Computational Catalysis, and Climate Change Mitigation.
