Bio
I hail from a small village named Bhandarhati in the state of West Bengal in India. However I grew up in the suburbs of the City of Joy i.e. Kolkata in a town called Uttarpara situated at the banks of the mighty River Ganges (Ganga).
When not in the lab, I like to spend time swimming and watching Formula One. I love to do street and nature photography!
Education
I did my B.Sc. in Geology at the Presidency University in Kolkata. This was followed by M.Sc. in applied geology from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee), situated near Dehradun at the foothills of Himalaya. After that I moved from the foothills of the Himalaya to the foothills of the Alps, at the beautiful city of Bern in Switzerland. I did my Ph.D. in Isotope Geochemistry at the Institute of Geological Sciences at University of Bern.
Employment
Currently I am a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Postdoc Mobility fellow at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge.
