Teaching Experience :

  • Assistant Professor (WBES) in Sister Nibedita Govt. General Degree College for Girls, Hastings House, Alipore, Kolkata from June, 2015 till date.
  • Guest Lecturer at Ananda Mohan College (City College evening) from August, 2012 to April, 2015.

Specialization :

I have completed my M.Sc. with Inorganic Chemistry Specialization from University of Calcutta in 2010 securing highest marks in Inorganic Chemistry.

I have completed my Ph.D. from University of Calcutta under the supervision of Prof. Ashutosh Ghosh, in 2015 on the topic "Studies On Homo- And Hetero-metallic Complexes Of Maganese (II/III) With Some O And N Donor Ligands".

Research Interest :

Systematic study of the homo and heterometallic complexes derived from Schiff-base ligands and/ or N,N-donor spacers with various transition metals in presence of several auxiliary bridging groups.
