About
Sougata Datta was born in West Bengal, India, in 1987. He is currently an IAAR Research Fellow and co-supervisor in Professor Shiki Yagai’s research group at Chiba University, Japan, where his research focuses on supramolecular polymer materials. He received his B.Sc. degree in Chemistry from Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira, Belur Math, University of Calcutta, India, in 2007, followed by a M.S. degree in 2009 and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 2015 from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. He subsequently undertook postdoctoral research on organoplatinum-based macrocyclic assemblies in Professor Peter J. Stang’s group at the University of Utah, USA, as a SERB–IUSSTF Fellow, before pursuing his current research at Chiba University.
His research interests span functional organic materials, mechanically interlocked molecular architectures, chiral supramolecular polymers, metallosupramolecular assemblies, molecular gels, and related self-assembled systems. His work has resulted in numerous peer-reviewed publications in international journals and several book chapters. In recognition of his research contributions, he has received several prestigious fellowships, awards, and research grants, including the Malhotra Weikfield Nanoscience Award, the Guha Research Medal for Best Thesis, the SERB–IUSSTF Fellowship, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) International Research Fellowship, and research grant in Japan.
