Subhrajyoti Ghosh

I am a research scholar of the Department of Chemistry at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India. I received my undergraduate degree in chemistry from Dinabandhu Andrews College, University of Calcutta in the year of 2017. I have got my Masters degree in chemistry from Ramakrishna Mission Residential College, Narendrapur in the year of 2019. I being very much passionated for my research and my key area of interests are material and inorganic chemistry. I have joined IIT Guwahati in July 2019 under the supervision of Dr. Shyam Prosad Biswas. My main area of interest to synthesis super hydrophobic MOF composites for the purpus of oil-water seperation. I was conferred with the prestigious Prime Minister's Research Fellowship (PMRF), in the session of january 2020 for pursuing my research.

Research Area

My area of research is the synthesis of superhydrophobic MOF materials for the purpose of the oil-water separation. Application of MOF composites for the separation of the oil-water mixture is a new an important area of research. As harmful oils after mixing with water misbalance the marine ecosystem by killing the marine animals. It is also a huge loss from economical point of view. Therefore, it is very urgent to develop such a material which can adsorb the oil and separate the oil from water, with a huge recyclability and high efficiency. For that purpose, MOFs are one of the popular choices. The pore sizes and surface properties of traditional adsorbents (silica, active carbons, etc.) cannot be tuned due to lack of organic moieties. But, functionalization and tuning of pore size are possible for MOFs. Therefore, My aim to synthesis of superhydrophobic MOF composites and use of these composites for the purpus of oil-water seperation.

Research Interests

• Use of super hydrophobic MOF composites for the oil-water seperation
• Use of MOFs for the selective sensing of analytes
• Use of MOFs for heterogenious catalysis reactions
