معرفی
Suman Bhattacharya is a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Limerick. He works under Dr. Sarah Guerin in the Actuate Lab, focusing on advanced materials research.
- Education:
- B.Sc (Hons) - University of Calcutta (2005)
- M.Sc (Chemistry) - Bharathidasan University (2007)
- M.Phil & PhD - Pondicherry University (supervised by Prof. Binoy K. Saha)
His research spans crystal engineering, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), thermal expansion studies, and supramolecular chemistry. He investigates properties like shear piezoelectricity in organic crystals, electrocatalysis, DNA interactions, and solid-state emission in radical anions. His work combines experimental and computational approaches for applications in sensors, energy, and biomaterials.
Notable trends in publications include:
- Thermal expansion mechanisms in hydrogen-bonded systems
- Metal complex-based electrocatalysts
- Piezoelectric organic crystals for electromechanical applications
- Antimicrobial studies using cocrystals
- Computational modeling of molecular interactions
- Stimuli-responsive materials with dual-state emission
Scientific Awards:
- 2015 - AsCA Rising Star Award
- 2015 - National Postdoctoral Fellowship (India)
- 2016 - IRC-SET Postdoctoral Fellowship (Ireland)
He has contributed to journals like Crystal Growth and Design, Organic Letters, and Crystal Engineering Communications, and served as a reviewer in his field. Outside research, Suman enjoys classical guitar, cooking, and family time.
