We work on the synthesis of molecules, study the kinetics, photochemical, and photophysical properties of the synthesized molecules to understand their behavior. Our molecules toggle between two structures using light and we utilize the structural changes to control several properties such as aggregation-disaggregation, supramolecular assembly - disassembly, differential binding properties, and so on.
How does nature make, transform, and manipulate biological molecules? This lecture course focuses on the fundamentals of chemical reactions in biological systems and more importantly, the chemical logic behind them.
This teaching course traces a reaction mechanism as a step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical change occurs.
This lecture course features concepts that explain the process of determining the chemical structure of a compound. The characterization techniques taught include Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography among others.
Many moons ago, when I was teaching the spectroscopy lab, a cool and easy experiment to obtain the C=O stretch in the electronic excited state was designed. It did not require any expensive instruments and expertise. It requires skills in basic arithmetic though!
Do you know that about 8% of the male population and 0.5% of the female population worldwide are color blind? Keeping that in mind, we have developed an Android based app "Titration ColorCam" and provided details of it in the paper in the Journal of Chemical Education.

We are always keen to go to schools, colleges, to deliver talks and take part in discussions for the promotion of chemical education, history of science and prospects of science education.

Subhajit Bandyopadhyay did his MSc from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur. He did his doctoral research under the supervision of Professor Reginald Mitchell at University of Victoria, British Columbia. This was followed by a postdoctoral position with Professor Ron Breslow at Columbia University in the city of New York. Following the footsteps of all his gurus, he believed that his education would be incomplete without a Cambridge education. Therefore, he spent a year with Prof. Florian Hollfelder's lab at the University of Cambridge before joining IISER Kolkata as an Assistant Professor.
