Subhrokoli Ghosh

Subhrokoli Ghosh is a Research Fellow in the Bio- and Nanophotonics group at the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK), Faculty of Engineering, University of Freiburg, Germany. He joined the group in October 2020 after completing his dual-degree PhD in Physics at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata.

His educational background includes schooling and college studies in Siliguri, India, followed by an Integrated PhD program (2012-2020) at IISER Kolkata where he earned dual degrees in Physics.

Ghosh's research centers on understanding molecular-scale friction using Optical Tweezers (OT) technology. He manipulates trapped probes along surfaces and tracks position fluctuations at MHz rates, building on his doctoral work studying microbubbles in OT. His work bridges Nanophotonics, Biophysics, and Microsystems Engineering, contributing to fundamental molecular interaction studies within the Rohrbach group's framework.

He is affiliated with University of Freiburg's research clusters including BrainLinks – BrainTools, BIOSS, FRIAS, and PlanOS, which focus on interdisciplinary applications in neurotechnology and advanced materials.
