I was born and brought up​​ in a small farming village (Uttar-Bhatora) of West Bengal, India. I did my B.Sc in Chemistry Honors from Vidyasagar University in 2015 and  MS from I​​ndian Institute of Science Education & Research, Kolkata. Currently, I am a PhD Student at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan.
My MS research (3 years) at IISER-Kolkata and PhD research at OIST, Japan has already touched many different areas of chemistry and biology ranging from Supramolecular Interactions (with Prof. Haldar), Liposomal Drug Delivery (with Prof. Tarafdar), Visible Light Photocatalysis (with Prof. Sureshkumar), Protein Engineering (with Prof. Laurino), Quantum Materials (with Prof. Okada) to Enantioselective Synthesis (with prof. Tanaka). I am currently working  on the topic "How to control the dual reactivity of pyruvates? and use pyruvate as nucleophile in organocatalytic reaction" in "Chemistry and Chemical Bioengineering Unit" at OIST.

# OIST Science Festival 2019 // OIST Campus // 16th Nov, 2019

​I love OIST science-fest. This year I volunteered in "Liquid N2 show booth". It was an amazing experience for me. I enjoyed my time while interecting with crowed, particularly with kids. Their funny reactions after each experiments made me laugh. Looking forward for the next year.

#Top20 read publications
Our review publication "Recent Advances on Amino Acid Modifications via C–H Functionalization and Decarboxylative Functionalization Strategies" has been considered among one of top 20 read publications in 2017-2018 by WILEY.  This paper gained much attention from the scientific community and has categorized also in the column of "Very Important Paper" edition. Follow this link (https://rdcu.be/bGKhM) to access the full version of the paper for free. WILEY has kindly provided this link for this occasion and will be valid for a limited time only. Thank you for your support. ありがとうご ざいます.

# OIST 5 Day Lean Startup Entrepreneurial Training Program
It was an amazing experience. Always wanted to learn more on startup from very long time, after finishing this evidence based startup workshop program made me even more interested on startup and realistic at the same time. It started with briefing on Basic of startup up to real market research consisting group discussion, presentation & hypothesis. Total six team were participated in this workshop with their own idea /technology to find out how to start a business out of it. I was associated with the team Shortditch-son, a campus based startup team researching on portable protein powder.  I believe this training will be helpful for me on my future research as well as to decide my career path. I must say I realized training similar to this in all stages of academia will be helpful to serve its main purpose. Moreover it will excite more people to do a good fraction of their research on translational research than doing something for the sake of publication only !!
# OIST Science Festival 2018 // OIST Campus // 17th Nov, 2018

​Festival !! Yes; you heard me right. On 17th Nov, 2018 OIST (Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology) organized one of universitie’s largest open campus activity for all. More than 4000 people from Okinawa &  around Japan gathered to participate in these unique science activity. Although the target audience was school kids but from my observation their parents also enjoyed as much as their junior one. There were countless number of booth consisting activity like “Play with Robotics” to “Watch Weird Animal Evolve Show” and making “Ice Cream with Liquid Nitrogen” to “Deep Sea Explorer” etc. These activity will surely help many young minds to gain much needed interest on SCIENCE. Festival ends with a great success and looking forward to participate in next year.

# Graduate Admission Workshop // OIST Japan // 12-18 Feb, 2018

Invited participent for the graduate admission workshop at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan. Given series of one-to-one interview with  faculties engaging in science on different field (Organic synthetic Chemistry, Material Chemistry, Chemical Biology etc). The workshop was really interesting and would be useful for future graduate student at OIST.  Thanks to OIST !! for the trip

# Poster Prsentation // "Frontiers in Organic Synthesis and Catalysis (FOSC-2018)"// IISER-Kolkata 10-11 Jan, 2018

Presented MS thesis work in FOSC-2018 on "TEMPO-Mediated Regioselective Synthesis of Isoxazole and Isoxazolines from Oxime". ​
# ICCHD-2018 :
International conference on Organic Chemsitry // HIT Campus, Kolkata from 8-10th Jan, 2018

Participated in International conference at Kolkata on the birth centenary of Professor Asima Chatterjee (A legendary figure in Synthesis and alkaloid chemsitry). Participated more than 60 speakers from national and arould the world. Pioneering scientist in catalysis & organic chemsitry like Prof. Stephen K. Hashmi,  Prof. Martin Oestreich,​ Prof. Jerome Waser, Prof. Masahiro Terada, Prof. Naoto Chatani, Prof. Debabrate Maiti are the few name I could write here. The list is really ​enthralling and long. Conference was really interesting and informative. Waiting to participate next time in ICCHD.
# Volunteering in VIJYOSHI - 2017 //
​ IISER-K 10-12 Dec 2017 // Natonal Science Camp
National Science (Vijyoshi) Camps is to provide a forum for interactions between bright young students (1st year UG students) and leading researchers in various branches of sciences and mathematics.  These camps serves as an ideal platform for the young participants to get an exciting global viewpoint of questions relating to basic sciences as well as application oriented themes.
