#IISERPune is hosting @ANRFIndia's 2nd Prime Minister Early Career Research Grant Assessment meeting during Feb 17-18, 2026 for seven research verticals: Civil Eng., Computer Eng., Earth and Atmospheric Sci. Materials and Metallurgical Eng., Mechanical Eng., Organic Chemistry and Physical Sciences. About 100 domain experts from across India are engaged in this task for two days. We extend a warm welcome to them all to the campus💐💐
Strengthening India-Thailand collaboration in field of Education 🤝
IIT Gandhinagar, India and Mahidol University, Thailand signed an MoU on Research and Academic Cooperation in presence of Ambassador @nageshsinghIFS. Also present were Mr. Rajat Moona, Director @iitgn, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thanapat Wanichanon, Dean of Engineering, Mahidol University.

So glad to share our collaborative work with Prof Raghavan @iitgn where we found that a push and pull effect facilitated by the metal and boron atoms in TiB2 Nanosheets impart them a superlative ability to catalyse NRR. https://t.co/YhrE7Udqgb @ACS_AMI@CheIitgn@ACS4Authors
"You can find the role models you are looking for."
2022 chemistry laureate Carolyn Bertozzi shares an important message to all who don't see themselves represented in mainstream science. Who is your role model?

We are back in the saddle with a new issue of @InorgChem. This week our Front Cover illustrates how functionalized TiB2 nanosheets can react uniquely with ascorbic acid. Check out the whole issue, chemistry from all corners of the Periodic Table. https://t.co/j8z5JPoC8T
Our findings on the unique interaction of TiB2 nanosheets with ascorbic acid graced the front cover of ACS Inorganic Chemistry! Kudos to Satadru for his dedicated work and Bhagyashri for developing the cover art! https://t.co/zk4cDeSPKq @ACS4Authors@CheIitgn@iitgn#MyACSCover
Glad to share our recent collaborative work with @chinmayghoroi@iitgn where we show that Nanosheets derived from TiB2 can enhance the tensile strength of films used in wound healing without affecting their drug release propoerty @CheIitgn https://t.co/rnTAI9eAyR
So glad that our collaborative work with Prof. @gaurav_iitgn and Vikash on TiB2 nanosheets as cement additives got selected as #coverart ! We found that these nanosheets enhance the formation and hydration of dicalcium silicate, a key component of cement https://t.co/oKvWPhXTVD
In this recent work, we synthesized pristine TiB2 nanosheets and discovered a remarkable phenomenon that they chemisorb N2 at room temp w/o any assistance. DFT studies in collaboration with Prof. Raghavan helped us understand this amazing phenomenon https://t.co/LJdOfdog2l
Presented our work from IIT Gandhinagar on XBenes @iitroorkee in the conference on Emergent Materials for Energy and Environment. We collated all our works in the last 10 years for this poster. Thanks to Satadru and Anupama for developing this poster.
So grateful for the cover art @JPhysChem accompanying our review article wherein we've coined a new term XBenes (like graphene) to name this family of metal boride nanosheets that seeded with our discovery of MgB2 nanosheets ~8 years ago @iitgn@CheIitgn

Feeling grateful @iitgn for supporting collaboration with Sandia, Lawrence Berkeley, & Lawrence Livermore Nat. Labs - it helped us show that MgB2 can store ~50 times more H2 when nanoscaled (https://t.co/kraCxexJLu) Blessed to have a perseverant student @gunda_harini
Feeling grateful for having an amazing student in Satadru (PhD scholar @iitgn ), he bagged 1st prize in the Science Slam competition @EuraxessIndia where each of the five finalists presented science artistically. Thanks @LDI_IITGN for their support many congratulations @SataC07
And the winner of the 2022 #EURAXESS India Science Slam is...Satadru Chakrabarty (aka Hydrogen Guy)!🥳🏆😀
Congrats @SataC07 for winning the 1st prize - a roundtrip to #Europe
Feeling very grateful that an @iitgn@jaist collaborative work on using TiB2 nanosheets as a battery anode also got featured on the recent issue cover in ACS applied nanomaterials. https://t.co/oYtpH4u0Wm
Delighted for Satadru, my PhD student @iitgn, for being selected among the top 5 finalists for the Science Slam competition https://t.co/hwqQd5PvAs @EuraxessIndia thanks @LDI_IITGN for their amazing support. Here’s the entry https://t.co/sbowmdaIDN wishing him the best for finals
