Arindam Chowdhury

Prof. Arindam Chowdhury is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB), India. His research focuses on unraveling the optical and electronic properties of advanced materials, particularly organo-metal halide perovskites and 2D materials like MoS₂. He investigates phenomena such as photoluminescence intermittency (blinking) and spatiotemporal optical instabilities in these systems, with implications for solar energy and light-emissive devices. His work combines micro-spectroscopy techniques to study hard and soft systems.

• Education: Not explicitly stated in texts.

Research interests include understanding charge carrier dynamics, metastable traps, and material defect mechanisms in perovskites. His group has published notable studies on MoS₂ monolayers and self-healing perovskite solar cells (ACS Energy Letters, 2024; Applied Physics Letters, 2024).

Students supervised include Mansi (MoS₂ photoluminescence), Shruti (poster awards), and Tejmani (self-healing solar cells). A PhD position is currently open under his supervision.

Labs/Teams: Leads a research group at IITB focused on advanced materials and micro-spectroscopy.
