- Our recent work published in JACS. We designed a new catalyst as efficient cathode material for fuel cells. We could achieve almost complete electron transfer in oxygen reduction reaction to water. The mechanism has been mapped via various in-situ methods.
- Inducted into the Editorial Advisory Board of JACS. Nothing better than being a Member of the Advisory Board of a most prestigious journal in Chemistry. Delighted to be a part of the Elite team. pubs.acs.org/page/jacsat/ed…
- 2023 is golden year for my students. 5 got post-doc positions including Humboldt/Marie-Curie fellowships, one joined as executive in NTPC, One as a scientist in JM, two joined as Engineers in HPCL, three joined for PhDs. Better feeling in addition to publications and awards😌
- Happy to share that I am Invited as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. The selection was made in the category of the leaders in the field (CO2 reduction, hydrogen production and fuel cell). Thanks to RSC for such a prestigious recognition.
- With ACS Chief Editors (Erick: JACS and Stefanie: Inorganic Chemistry) at ICOC 20023, Goa
- Our third JACS in 2022. In this work we discovered a new chiral compound, which is rare in intermetallic family. We induced the chirality in Ni3Ga4 upon the introduction of Co at the crystal lattice of NI, which leads to the formation of chiral Co3Ni3Ga8.
- Excited to see my student, Dr. Soumyabrata Roy, as a faculty at IIT Kanpur. Your knowledge, hard work, commitment, and positive approach to scientific problems have earned you this position. Looking forward to your growth as a future leader in Indian science. Thanks for visiting.
- Indian students favor studying in the US/Europe. Is it because of superior education quality, career prospects, research opportunities, etc..or fantasy?. To mitigate brain drain, the government should enhance education standards and infrastructure to retain talent within India.
- Drive for a lunch with Prof. Pulickel Ajayan at IISc Bengaluru.. 😊 *Footnote - Helmets were removed for the photograph😀
- I am deeply Humbled and Honored to have received the MRSI Materials Science Annual Prize for the Year 2023😊Thanks to MRSI for the second award.
- I am honoured and humbled to know that I have been selected for Rajib Goyal Prize in the category of Chemical Sciences. It is instituted to honour Indian scientists who have made a mark in research in basic and applied science less than 45 years of age. new.kuk.ac.in/wp-content/upl…
- Honoured to be selected as a Fellow of Indian Academy of Sciences🙂 Thanks to all who helped me to build my career to achieve this Proud and Happy moment. Congratulations to all other Fellows for this achievement.
- Congratulations to Biju, Debu and Swadhin for excellent ICOC 2023. Thanks for including me and looking forward to ICOC 2025.
