Profile Summary

It has been almost 16 years since I am working actively as a researcher in the field of Biophysics, Nanoscience, Photophysics, and Photochemistry by using various steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. UV-Vis absorption, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence emission (TCPC), anisotropy, CD, FTIR, FESEM, HRTEM, XPS, XRD, DLS, GAUSSIAN 98, OPUS, Autodock are the name of the few techniques which I have used extensively throughout my research work. During this journey I have published 18 research articles in various leading international peer-reviewed journals, hence I have a vivid experience of manuscript writing. Also this year I have started reviewing research articles for RSC publication house and Elsevier. I have my M.Sc and B.Sc. degrees in Physics. At present, I am doing research as D. S. Kothari Fellow in Jadavpur University on the project entitled “Aptamer Modified Quantum Dot Based Optical Techniques for Ultra Sensing and Degrading Pesticides.” which has been recommended for funding by UGC, Government of India. Our project aims in achieving new nano-biosensor - a simple Quantum Dot switch sensors for pesticides of high sensitivity, fast, low-cost, and user-friendly devices for field use, far more desirable than traditional, tedious laboratory analysis with the capacity of removing these toxic pesticides and their derivatives from the environment. I have also worked as Young Scientist at the University of Calcutta on my own project entitled “Spectroscopic Investigations of the Interaction between a Small Molecule and Diverse DNA Structures B-DNA and G-Quadruplex DNA“as Principal Investigator, which has been recommended for funding by Science and Engineering Research Board, Government of India. There we found the critical differences in the effects of the small molecule on the structural, optical, and dynamical behavior of the two forms of DNAs: B-DNA and G-Quadruplex DNA which would be extremely beneficial to understand the differences in structural properties and functions of DNAs, the action mechanism of some anti-tumor drugs, to design new and more efficient DNA targeted drugs to deal against genetic diseases with new forms of therapy with less toxicity by using different spectroscopic techniques. Also, I made observations on the aggregation of Alzheimer’s Peptide by using Time-Resolved FTIR Spectroscopy during my stay as a postdoc at Prof. Barth’s lab at Stockholm University. Here we had characterized the time evolution of the association of β-strands, the protonation state, and the interaction of crucial amino acid side chains. Before that, I studied drug-protein interaction in order to determine biomolecular structure and dynamics. My Ph. D research focused on the development of artificial photosynthetic devices and to achieve our goal we investigated photoinduced electron transfer processes within several multichromophoric systems in isotropic environments and anisotropic microenvironments by steady-state, time-resolved spectroscopic (including nanosecond and picosecond laser flash photolysis techniques) and electrochemical techniques. As a freelancer in Kolabtree, I accomplished a few projects such as; Deriving mathematical formula, Content writing on Biophoton emission from the human body, Writing a Report on Noise Cancellation Technology in Windows, etc.
