Debsena Chakraborty
Ph.D. Scholar
Hello! you're currently viewing the personal homepage of Debsena Chakraborty.
I'm a research scholar, currently pursuing my Ph.D. in chemistry from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), India in Supramolecular Chemistry.
My other interests include watching and playing football and reading fantasy books.
Research Interests
My current research focusses mainly on charged organic systems and their utility in various aspects of Supramolecular Chemistry. Thus I have been exploring the possibility of different organic architecture which could closely mimic enzymes in their various biological activities in water.
Appart from charged organic arcitectures, I am also interested in small chiral fluorophores and their various utilities.
