Ambar Banerjee
Assistant Professor, RISE, TCG CREST
Dr. Ambar Banerjee is currently an Assistant Professor in the Research Institute for Sustainable Energy (RISE) of TCG Centres for Research and Education in Science and Technology (TCG-CREST). He did his Bachelor’s with Chemistry Hons. from University of Calcutta, followed by Master with specialization in Physical Chemistry (Raja Bazaar Science College). Dr. Banerjee received his PhD in Science from Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science. Following his PhD, he has worked as postdoctoral fellows at Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel (2018-2019), Stockholm University (2019-2021) and Uppsala University (2021-2024) in Sweden.
He is a quantum chemist and is interested in simulation of photochemical and photo-assisted molecular transformations. His group also aims to use that understanding to motivate design of more efficient photo-catalyst and solar-energy harvesting molecular structures.
The keys point of his research are:
- Quantum simulations of Excited-state dynamics of the photo-physical/chemical processes.
- Mechanistic investigation of photo-induced molecular transformations
- Predicting spectroscopic signature for the photo-physical and photo-chemical processes.
