Prof. Jong-Beom Baek. The research topic in this postdoctoral work deals with development of novel twodimensional porous structure by using various organic building blocks. Finally, use these porous structures for various applications like to investigate their catalytic properties and find application in light harvesting application and to make real device. October 2015 –September 2016: Post-doctoral Research Fellow University of Namur, Belgium. Post-doctoral Research Mentor: Prof. Davide Bonifazi. The research topic in this postdoctoral work deals with two different project. In one project the aim is to design and synthesis of novel “BORAZENE” derivative to use this as a coating material with polymer. Finally investigate the self-assemble property of these molecules in solution as well as in surface. The synthetic variation on borazene core enables to tune the electronic property of the molecule and the corresponding assembles for use in light harvesting application. In another project the aim is to synthesis boron nitride and carbon doped boron nitride nanoparticle. Finally find a suitable way to covalently functionalise these nanoparticles and used this as coating material. May 2014 – August 2015: Post-doctoral Research Fellow University of Twente , Enschede, Netherlands. Post-doctoral Research Mentor: Dr. Tibor Kudernac. In this postdoctoral tenure, I have worked on an interdisciplinary project with combination of material science and chemistry. With this aim I have designed and synthesized various diaminotriazene base building blocks which will use to form the porous structure as well as the 2D-polymer on semiconducting surface by using molecular self-assembly. I have also responsible for engineering the photoluminescence property of two-dimensional semiconductors with an aid of molecules and molecular self-assembly. More concretely, the aim of the project is to engineer the band gap of thin flakes of MoS2 by functionalizing or by forming organized molecular networks on their surfaces. During this work, I have learned 2|Page CV-Dr. Amal Kumar Mandal new techniques (STM, AFM, Raman, etc.) and develop a noble easily facile method to alter the optical property 2D-MoS2 flakes with some molecules. January 2013 – April 2014: Post-doctoral Research Fellow Nanyang Technological University, Jurong west, Singapore. Post-doctoral Research Mentor: Prof. Yanli Zhao. During my post-doctoral stay with Prof. Zhao groups, I have pursued my research for the development of imaging reagent by multi-photon excitation. In my first project, I have developed a new class morphology tuned organic nanoparticle. These nanoparticles have shown aggregation induced enhanced luminescence upon threephoton excitation. Finally, we have utilized these nanoparticles for targeted bioimaging by using three-photon excitation. In another project, I have designed and synthesized some molecular probes. The appropriate design of these probes helps us to tune the three-photon absorption and emission property in presence of suitable external inputs. Finally, we have utilized these probes for the intracellular detection of Zn(II) ion by three-photon excitation. Apart from these I have also contributed to some group activity to develop some 2D-hybrid material for catalytic and bioimaging application. November 2007 – November 2012: Doctoral Research Fellow Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute, Bhavnagar, India. Ph.D Mentor: Prof. Amitava Das. Ph.D. Thesis Title: “Design and Synthesis of Receptor Molecules for Biologically Important Analytes and Supramolecular Assemblies”. My doctoral research work was focused in Photoactive Supramolecular Assembly. Apart from this I have also contributed to our group activity in developing the Fluorescent Biomarkers for evaluating intercellular distribution of the certain bio-active ions. Research Interest: Functional Organic Materials; Supramolecular Polymer; Photo-responsive Self-assembly; Two-dimensional Organic nanosheets; Porous Organic Polymer; Chiral Separation. 3|Page CV-Dr. Amal Kumar Mandal Awards and Fellowship: • Post-doctoral Research Fellowship from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), South Korea, 2016. • Post-doctoral Research Fellowship from Namur Advanced Research College (NARC), University of Namur, Belgium, 2015. • Post-doctoral Research Fellowship from Molecular Nanofabrication Group (MNF), University of Twente, Netherland, 2014. • Post-doctoral Research Fellowship from School of physical and mathematical Science (SPMS), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, 2013. • Visiting Research Fellowship from UKIERI-DST Project in Prof. Jim Thomas’s Laboratory of University of Sheffield, United Kingdom. • • • Senior Research Fellowship, awarded by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, (CSIR- India), 2009.
