About
I am a research scholar at the University of Burdwan, conducting my research under the guidance of Prof. Bidyut Saha. My research lies in colloid chemistry, with particular emphasis on micellar catalysis and surfactant-mediated reaction systems.My work focuses on elucidating the influence of organized micellar media on the kinetics and mechanistic pathways of oxidation reactions. I have systematically investigated how surfactant architecture, hydrophobic effects, and interfacial charge distributions govern substrate encapsulation and catalytic efficiency. By combining kinetic modeling with spectroscopic and physicochemical techniques such as UV–Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, conductometry, and dynamic light scattering (DLS), SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering), and lifetime analysis, I seek to establish clear structure–property–reactivity correlations.
My broader research vision is directed toward designing efficient, sustainable, and environmentally compatible catalytic systems using nanostructured assemblies. Through my work, I aim to contribute to the advancement of green chemistry and the fundamental understanding of reaction dynamics in confined microenvironments.
