President Droupadi Murmu presents Vigyan Yuva- Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Awards to:
•Dr Dibyendu Das in Chemistry.
•Dr Waliur Rahaman in Earth Science.
•Prof. Arkaprava Basu in Engineering Sciences.
•Prof. Sabyasachi Mukherjee in Mathematics and Computer Science.
Meet Prof. Subhajit Bandyopadhyay, the IISER Kolkata chemist who mentored India's Chemistry Olympiad team to its best-ever finish this July.
He studied at the University of Burdwan for his bachelor's, then IIT Kanpur for his master's, before earning his PhD under Prof. Reginald Mitchell at the University of Victoria in Canada. He went on to postdoc with Prof. Ron Breslow at Columbia University and spent a year at Cambridge under Prof. Florian Hollfelder before joining IISER Kolkata as an Assistant Professor.
Since then, he's picked up 4 Best Teacher Awards from IISER Kolkata's own student community, become a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and earned an Honorary Membership of the American Chemical Society.
This July, as Head Mentor, he guided India's 4-student team through the 58th IChO in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. All 4 came home with gold. India tied for Rank 1 with China and Vietnam, its best result in 27 appearances at the competition.
Mentor who spent 27 years building the platform his students needed just 5 days in Tashkent to stand on.
Our former postdoc, Dr. Sipra Ghosh, has joined Srinath University, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, as an Assistant Professor in Chemistry Department. Wishing her great success in her future endeavors in teaching, research, and service to the academic community.

Congratulations to @DeyIACS, our institute’s Frontiers Awardee 2026! It was truly wonderful hosting my PhD supervisor. A very special full-circle moment for me, seeing him recognized among such exceptional scientists in bioinorganic chemistry and chemical energy conversion.
We’re recruiting two PhD students! 🧪
Join our group at the University of Saskatchewan 🇨🇦 starting Fall 2026 or Jan 2027. We work at the interface of supramolecular, inorganic, and materials chemistry. Synthesis and spectroscopy experience preferred ⚗️
Interested?
