​We are actively looking for new PhD students with CSIR-UGC JRF or GATE qualification. Interested candidates are requested to email (sch@iitp.ac.in) for more details.
 

Our research focuses on exploring the sustainable/ green synthetic platform for the design of functional polymers and materials. In our approach, we uses various organic reactions to synthesize functional polymers and study macromolecular self-assembly to understand their structure-property-application relationships. This understanding helps us to prepare tailormade polymeric materials for a targeted end application. Particularly we are interested to synthesize polymers with functional and topological control, stimuli-responsive materials, and porous polymers. 

PhD positions are currently available for CSIR-UGC JRF/NET or GATE qualified students through institute admission procedure. Interested candidates for (N)PDF should directly contact Dr. Subrata Chattopadhyay with a CV and research statement.
