Curriculum Vitae
Ayan
obtained his MSc in Organic Chemistry in 2017 from Visva Bharati University.
During his master's thesis, he joined Dr. Prithidipa Sahoo group to work on selective
detection of biologically relevant small molecules by fluorescent sensors. Following,
he secured junior and senior research fellowships from Council of Scientific
& Industrial Research (CSIR), India to start his doctoral programme under
the supervision of Dr. Dibyendu Das. His research was focused on catalytic
competencies of cross β amyloids. From January 2024, he joined the group of
Prof. Tanja Weil as a postdoctoral research associate, exploring the potential of
catalytic cross talk between self-assemblies and living systems with a temporal control.
