Academics

Bio

Dr. Soumava Biswas obtained his PhD in chemistry from IISER Bhopal, India under the supervision of Professor Sanjit Konar in 2017. Then he worked with the research group of Prof. Masahiro Yamashita, at Tohoku University, Japan as a JSPS postdoctoral fellow for two years. After that, he moved to the Czech Republic. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Petr Neugebauer at the Central European Institute of Technology for three years and two months. Since August 2023, He is working as an assistant professor at the Department of Chemistry, MIT-WPU. Till now, he has published 25 research articles in several scientific journals with total citations of 1640, and his h-index is 18. He was awarded a prestigious JSPS postdoctoral fellowship in 2017 from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
