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 Indian 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. |

# 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. Attached photo is our team on science festival “Watch Weird Animal Evolve Show” |

# 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 Link - https://www.oist.jp/ |
# 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.
