About PI
Anindita Das received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree in Chemistry from the University of Calcutta, India in 2009. She then joined the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, India for a Ph.D. under supervision of Professor Suhrit Ghosh. After completing her Ph.D. in 2014, she worked as an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellow with Professor Patrick Theato at the Institute for Technical and Macromolecular Chemistry, University of Hamburg, Germany which was followed by a second postdoctoral research work with Professor E. W. Meijer at the Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands. In 2017, she returned back to the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), India to initiate her independent research career as a Faculty Fellow at the School of Applied and Interdisciplinary Sciences. She is presently holding the position of an Associate Professor in the same School.
