The NanoBio research group of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) maintains its commitment to attracting excellent talents. Rohan Dutta joined School of Nano Science and Technology (SNST) IIT Kharagpur as PostGrad Dissertation Student and will work in the team of Dr. Shivendu Ranjan for the partial fulfilment of his M.Sc degree.
Rohan (1999) is currently pursuing his Master of Science (M.Sc) in Biotechnology at the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT Vellore), which is located in the Vellore city of Tamil Nadu (India). Prior in 2021 he has completed his Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) in Microbiology. His research interests involve Biomedical Nanotechnology.
Personal Experience
Rohan Dutta holds this capstone project in high regards as it would be an excellent opportunity to imbibe new skills and techniques and gain deeper understanding of this domain. “This opportunity is one of the most prestigious and will accentuate my academic career,” he says.
“NBRL collaborates with renowned institutes and industries that work closely with nanomaterials, which will bridge the gap between industry and academia and provide me with an array of opportunities and widen my scope of knowledge. The guidance provided by such a dynamic team will augment both my professional and personal experience,” he says.
School of Nano Science and Technology
School of Nano Science and Technology (SNST) brings together engineers, biologists, chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and medicos of expertise in nanoscience and nanotechnology. SNST has set a mission to work actively on the developing technologies and innovations and contribute to the national mission and global priorities. SNST faculties are handholding as a cohesive unit of different disciplines and applying their scientific skills in applied and translational nanotechnology. SNST is aiming to generate processes, prototypes, products, technologies, and devices directed toward national as well as global priorities, especially in the domain of healthcare, food, agriculture, environment (water, air & soil), food, and nutrition. Science promotion and dissemination among the young generation is also a focus. SNST is committed to developing high-end research facilities to meet these targets and train the young brain with their skill development in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
